Why is UKRM more active than Reeky?

Yes, but you (and the other AlpineStars) are "special".

 

So you ride around acquiring culture ?

 

I have absolutely no idea how much fuel costs per gallon, although I
was mildly surprised to see that my car took >£70 to fill up last
time.

The bikes? **** knows - never really tried to work out the fuel
consumption.

 

It's about £4.95 for your English gallon at the moment. Or $8.30 in
funny money.

My bike currently costs 10.3p/17.2c mile, which I only know 'cos I do
the same journey on it every day (absorbing *loads* of culture as I go).
It was until recently a lot worse than that.

 

C'mon. It's Usenet. Brits have always been more comfortable using
archaic technology.

At that would be different from HDs.... how ?

 

The old creative accounting trick.
What about the 4p/mile for tyres, 1p/mile for clothing etc?
And as you're commuting you should include some of the fixed costs too.

 

not to mention <somewhat in a hurry to cross the Rhine>

 

"Have a smile for breakfast; you'll be shitting joy by lunchtime"

 

They're hateful, all of them. I read one at the moment, and it's
seven kinds of shite.

 

Are there recommended antibiotics ?

 

No, some of u's don't have feral apo'strophe's in our name's.

I am a member at around 3, one I've started following a lot more
recently. Bloody hell it's a PITA compared to a 'proper' news reader.

 

the maddest bit is, they could be done properly if someone with 1/2 a
clue about UX had a go at doing one. Every single one I've tried looks
to have been "designed" by some open source LAMP-muppet, using the
appropriately named Gimp for the badly formatted graphics (and don't
even get me started on the ones that have anim-GIFs instead of
smileys...)

 

If you're talking about S'mee, it's spelled "pussy"...

 

If only you knew an unemployed developer.

 

Post corrected.

Nah, no amount of UX will change the fact that web forums are a
single point of failure waiting to happen and are easily retromoderated
by the administrators and/or users.

Usenet is failure- and censorship-resistant, which is it's best point
and most significant flaw at the same time.
