Webtv-ers are slightly worse than top posters. Their newsreaders can't quote the text they respond to properly and they refuse to change to a reader that can.

Nahh, you just missed the '@webtv.net' part of his address.
Nice people mostly, but they have to be taught to play nicely with others, and quote a part of the previous message for context.
And not to modify the headers or use their 'TTT' dodge to pop the post to the top, so the post will properly thread with the rest of Usenet users around the world that aren't using WebTV.
If they find it useful, they might graduate one day to a real computer and Usenet client. ;-)

LOL. Actually, I saw that, but figured it wasn't a troll
There are a lot of non-WTVers who don't include the previous thread, too - and that drives me buggy. It's so confusing. I have an AOL using friend who deliberately sets his reader to dump the previous comments. This is a guy who is very knowledgeable about computers, but he still won't leave the previous comments in!
I'd rather use a Tandy than WTV
Now, now - some folks only want to surf the net and send/receive email. For those purposes, WTV makes a great deal of sense, just as MailStation is good for folks who only want to use email.
To each his/her own

CQ party. Cool.
Charles, we HAMS call that "troposheric ducting"! I knew a fellow ham would chime in on this one!
I know we call it ductcing, but I have to remember most of the people here aren't in the database of Part 97 licensees.
I heard CHWO 740 from Toronto again in Schaumburg IL last night. Didn't see any auroras, but the suburbs have too much light to see much of the sky.
