With the advent of e-mail verification, finally members has a clear advantage. Or at least, that's how it seems to me. Because of this I've decided to get my Pesos into gear and change them for some Universal(TM) dollars. ECON 101 Exam. You have (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

If you are a PayPal member, you can pay that way (or at least you could, not sure about now), cheaper than most of the conversion sources around. Other than that, I was getting a good deal at the local NAB, where they were only charging me the (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

(...) It is a pain-in-the-bum! To send a message via NNTP, you have to visit a WWW site to confirm it. This is a real nuisance if you compose messages off-line and then briefly connect to send them. Now you have to hang around to get an email sent (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)

This will be even worse for those of us who connect and post with our little PDA's, which aren't even capable of going to a website, just to hit 'confirm'. I do ALL of my lugnet reading and posting via email, often with my little Newton while on the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Jun-01, to lugnet.loc.au)
