lol I top post because that is the default for Google groups...

I used a newsreader in the 90s, used to chew up space, add an extra window, had to click on all these different groups to find stuff... aweful

I hate to break it to you but using a newsreader is old fashioned.

Let me ask you this.

Can you type these two workds into your *newsreader*:

jfs commandlink

will it come back in 0.1 seconds with this:

Your search - jfs commandlink - did not match any documents Did you mean: jsf commandlink

and can you click on the suggested link and in 0.05 seconds get the 46 articles across the entire usenet that reference java server faces command link component? Received on Thu Aug 17 2006 - 11:37:15 CDT
