Even if Todd implemented a "DAT file only" view of each of
these groups on the web site?

I would smile upon that; but still, I do most of my reading through my
nntp client.

How do you follow the threads across groups?  What newsreader do you use?

What do you do when you're in the .cad.dat group and you want to see if
there are any followups yet to the post you're reading?

When you do find a model in the .cad.dat group that you want to view, do you
have a way to view it right from your newsreader or do you go to the web
interface to view it?


Once the LDLite/web interface thing got going, I stopped viewing models from
the newsreader.  The other day, I decided that was kinda dumb because it only
takes a second to cut and paste the posted content into a file.  I just created
a 0view.dat file which I open in the LDAO editor (thus opening an LDLite window
displaying 0view.dat), copy-paste the data from the post into the editor
window, and presto! I get to view the model and can very easily change the
view, size, set the option to view only to the cursor, etc.

I was particularly "encouraged" to do this when LDLite stopped viewing posts
using MSIE5.

To make intellegent comments about a posted part, I pretty much have to have it
in the editor window anyway.
