For Google to make Microsoft literally blink and take a new business model, forcing their Chief Software Architect Mr. Gates to issue one of his famous letters, is a testament to Google's superior technical model and business approach. A simple interface is good but it should have behind it the ability to get as complex as one wants. Although I use Yahoo and Google, I do not know them to that extent well enough to comment. All I want in a good board reader is, easy on the eyes and drive the latest posted thread to the top so it can start falling again as it ages. Kind of like "bubble-sort" Stuart >-Josh
