I know there were people who liked Netscape Communicator, but I found
the idea of a communications suite to be abhorrent. It never met my

I appreciate the strategy of finding the best product to serve a
specific application, but I also appreciate the convenience of having a

as is everything else in life. It's an attractive trade off for the
casual Usenet user.
