I have NS configured just fine to read both places with only one
installation and one copy of the executables, I can move between them at
will.
I am against hosting RTL here unless cross posting problems can be
solved and cross posting is allowed. I continue to hold the reasons
(relating to RTL not being as well structured as LN) I held before. But
I now feel those reasons are mitigated IFF crossposting can be solved.
The fractured threads problem is big and will get bigger.

For me: No voyager e-mail please. All snail-mail to Ada, please.
- Posting Binaries to RTL causes flamage... Don't do it, please.
- Stick to the facts when posting about others, please.
- This is a family newsgroup, thanks.
