I have to agree. I just found a 7-day old message about MEditor on
Eumans' site, for instance.

Harder, no. At least 20 times slower though. And I can't read things
off line, or archive important posts the way I can in my email client.
That said, I have to agree it's heaps better than Topicas web
interface. With no email interface, though, and hence dropping the RDS
search facility, count me out.
BTW, none of these work for me:
http://h2osoft.homeip.net
(since I sensibly have javascript disabled, you should remove that
webring button and replace it with the good ol' "if you browser does
not automatically connect click here")
ftp://h2osoft.homeip.net/Win32lib_VirtWin.exw=20
ftp://h2osoft.homeip.net/VirtWin.exw=20
(all I get is the server returned extended information)
