Hallo,

while I share the feelings for Usenet groups in general, I can
understand the decision of Rex Conn to switch to a managed forum:

1: Usenet was slowly dying anyway

2: JP Soft was never acting against reasoned criticism, but strongly
against shitstorms and personal attacks against their personnel. That is
not the support environment a paying customer expects or tolerates.

I don't know if these messages are still available somewhere on Google
Groups or somesuch, but I could dig them out of my archives.


>> I too gave up on their captive forums. I think the motivation was

>> Usenet.
