Are we missing anything?

Of the 634 posts on rctn this evening, 440 of them included "Banned from the
Garden" in their subject line.

How many readers are missing interesting threads because they won't read the
"Banned" thread or have killfiled that phrase? I sure as heck won't wade
through 440 "Banned" posts to find out what they're really about!

Please give us a break, ladies, and change the subject line!

I think you'll see that many of the subject lines have been changed.
They now say community college, student loans, happy in the vineyard and
such like. They're still pretty much off topic, except the ones about
how best to do TW's patterns and those are clearly marked TW.

Changing the subject line when replying to a post doesn't make a new
thread in my newsreader. I new thread has to be started by composing a
new post instead of replying. How does it work for other people?

That's the way mine works, too. The only way around it is to *copy*
the portion you're replying to, start a whole new "compose" message, and
paste it in there.
I really do appreciate Sheena's efforts! Seeing my name in the header
really makes it pop out!

I have to read this group using OE, because I'm doing it at work. If you
read with OE and have the topics threaded, even changing the subject line
does NOT break the thread.

I hate OE. I never, ever, ever dreamed I'd say this: but I much preferred
reading RCTN on AOL!!!

It doesn't break the thread in Netscape, either, but I can see where the
new titles are and ignore the other ones, so it does make selective
reading easier for me.

I have tried to do that with starting several other threads. To be perfectly
honest, the thread was mostly a whole bunch of people getting together laughing,
having a fun time, and really at nobodies expense since the whole thing was just
downright silly to begin with.

I purposely didn't post much of anything today, and now my ISP has gotten rid of
most for me. They only hold on to Usenet for about two days...then it is marked
"unavailable."

So, whatcha stitching?

You can still download older versions of Netscape at their site.
http://wp.netscape.com/download/archive.html I'm still using 4.76
because I didn't like the way the newer versions handled newsgroups.

I totally agree with you. After Netscape 7 just seemed to go haywire
for me (a longtime lover of Netscape) I tried OE as that is what MS
tends to try and push you towards and loathed it, likewise Microsoft
Outlook. I got on to Agent and have now finally overcome
withdrawal symptoms from Netscape. I realized as I read your post
I have not been on Netscape for a couple of weeks and have no pangs.

Should I start some sort of group therapy where we could all talk
about favourite readers we could no longer have? Perhaps it would be
just a tad too anal.

It isn't really importing each bookmark, but it works if you do this.
Open IE. Choose Open from the File menu. Browse for a file named
bookmark.htm (usually in one of your Netscape folders). When you open
this file it looks like a webpage full of links which are all the pages
you have bookmarked in Netscape. You can Add this page to your IE
Favorites.

One thing I would love to know is how would I export my bookmarks in
Netscape to IE ? Any idea ? It would be convenient to have them
all on both, if you see what I mean.
