   Yes, the same as to software and formats... the content was what didn't   
   quite come up to the standards I was used to... and, at times, also the   
   participants were lacking...

   By the time I viewed the messages, often the kludges had been either   
   hidden or removed, so that didn't affect me (as a user, remember) as   
   much.  However, it seemed as though perhaps I was perforce in a   
   read-only mode, as anything I tried to respond to never seemed to make   
   it out there... perhaps that* was the kludginess affecting me...?
