(...) It's our belief that many people have drifted away from RTL over the years as it shifted slowly away from good old-fashioned building discussions (1993-94) into a more commercial/marketplace/auctions type of atmosphere (1995-98).

We access the internet using a proxy server at work and I will need to map a link to this newsgroup before I will be able to see it.

As a "generalist" as oppesed to as "specialist, I like to scan all of the posting on RTL. A quick glance at the subject line can usually keep me from opening too many messages that I don't want or missing too many that I do want. That is a long way (...)
