Well he hasn't gotten one from you, so the validity of that suggestion 
is now severely at risk.  The "real-time" alternative doesn't really 
mean anything - whether the answer is posted in response, or was 
written weeks ago and discovered after googling, it's still read at the 
same time.  Unfortunately, it also raises this troublesome question: 
why should an experienced WinMX user chance his arm to respond to this 
question when he'd and others had already done so repeatedly?  This NG 
works great when it's an exchange of information between knowledgeable 
users and less-experienced users possessing more than the initiative 
expended by a newbie who posts the same newbie question as posted by 
900+ other newbies.  Given that the NG falls short of that Halcyon 
ideal, I'd be surprised if it will play host to the experienced users 
for very much longer...

How did this NG get so angry?
