No, not at all. My point is what I wrote above. But also, a lot of 
functionality available on Usenet is also available on www. You don't 
*have* to convert people to Usenet, and to warn them against a forum on 
www. For day to day usage I experience hardly any difference. I mean, I am 
not struggeling when I post a message on a web board. And if things take 
time to download (for example a thread with many many pictures), I switch 
to another tab and do something else (tab browsing is fun :-). Each has its 
place. I don't want www on Usenet, and I don't want Usenet on www.
