Hear hear. I just downloaded 150 messages after being away for 3 days. Every
time my modem hangs up (often!) I have to go back and start all over again.

One suggestion is: "Take topics off line".

This means: If you are in some deep philosophical discussion regarding itty
bitty details of something which not many people care about (Recent
examples: VRML vs Java, distributed collision detection, etc.) tmen send
private mail to each other instsad of clogging my mailbox.

I believe tmis list should be used to hslp people get their VRML problems
sorted out, and discuss applications (not implementations) of VRML.
