#Whap
Karl,
I've tried QSN and, unless you have the most narrow of interests, RTN has it
beat all hollow. It may seem tha QSN is cheaper at first look, but you have to
log on TWICE to read those you're interested in. You also might miss the
things you're looking for as the headers do not always pertain to the content.
Since a RTN takes about an average of two and a half minutes per forum at
1200 baud (unless you're hitting the _really_ busy forums 8) doing a daily run
into CIS for messages becomes quite economical with Whap!. If you have 2400
baud capabilities it makes even more sense. My sessions online (icluding
_very_ busy forums) take about ten minutes when hitting ALL my forums of
interest. Considering that 'slow' forums take about thirty seconds to do, and
the busy ones perhaps two minutes, the cost of a daily swoop-and-scoop of the
bases costs about $2.04. And that's when you get it ALL, with all subjects
set. At 2400, the price drops even more!
So, impress your friends! Become an instant expert! For the lesser part of
a half a sawbuck, you too can rampage, sack, pillage and loot the various SIGs
of CIS! Come on! Do it today! 8)
