I'm posting this in ascii so everyone can see it well.
In many of the newsgroups posting is so rapid that it

(...) Here's another suggestion: How 'bout a way for a poster to tag a post as having a picture or link to picture or MOC? So one could easily browse the announcements of new MOCs before wading through the commentary about them. James Wilson Dallas, (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.admin.general)
