I just got tired of looking for a forum in an easy to follow
format....So I created one!!!!


I'm constantly amazed by people who come to Usenet, where you can read
over 18,000 newsgroups on any topic you want


Are they all 18,000 water related topics?


I actually have more than one interest. If the only thing you care about
are "water related topics", I pity you.

How do I make a difference in between one and the others?


You read them.

About the interface .....you cannot tell me that is not easier that
Usenet to use!


Maybe not for you, but I have a news reader that I know, I like, and I
contributed source code for. It works well for me because it doesn't
require a mouse. But the best thing is that anybody else who wants to
read any newsgroup or combination of newsgroups can use that software, or
any other. Your forum forces everybody to access it the same way.

And when I fire up my newsreader, I see every newsgroup that has anything
new. Unless you're the sort of wierdo that only has one one interest,
people who use web forums have to go to a bunch of different places to see
if there is anything new.

So after all this I was wonder if you had anything positive to provide
feedback with. Topics or anything related to the sport.


I haven't seen a single reason why I'd want to visit your site.
