I have been reading (and at times contributing to) this newsgroup for half a year now, and though there were some incidents, I have seen worse.
People tend to treat eachother nicely.
Your posts date back half a year longer. I did some reading back older messages, it does seem to have improved. Any other impressions? Received on Mon Sep 27 2004 - 08:01:56 CEST
