I dunno, the guy did try and should get credit for that.  ulm had some 
interesting posts that it otherwise might not have got.  The forum vs 
moderated newsgroup was never going to work properly without a lot of 
technical clue.

I have looked at the link Pedt gave and hope some of the legalbanter 
people find their way to the appropriate groups without using google 
groups.

I have mixed feelings about the legalbanter demise.

I'm going to miss some of the wild card postings that occasionally 
emanated and the occasional joy of realising someone didn't know where 
their message was being read and why they weren't getting a reply.

C'est la vie.

Oh yes - how we laughed.

Hello Worm... - that is oh-so-you isn't it.

Someone making a simple error - and all it does for you is give you a
laugh.

And then you have to comment on it!!

maggot.

No, fool, you had to be there at the time.

Yes, I expect my comments regarding legalbanter some time ago were 
noticed.

>maggot.

I think I have just been promoted.

And that makes it better somehow does it?

I suppose you are right - it's just like people laughing and poking
fun at you in here.

Carry on.

Got any ID info' this week yet?

Yes, you said so yesterday. However, you are implying it's new. MyReader 
has been around for a while.

I needed to change the email address under which it appeared.
