It may or may not be, but your response fails to address my actual
statement. Read it carefully-- I said situations where one has e-mail
AND Usenet access, but no web access are strange and fairly small.
You addressed the situation of people who have e-mail access but no
web access and presumeably no Usenet access either, since you have
continually said "e-mail only" or "nothing but e-mail."
Since my FAQ is very specifically centered around *a newsgroup*, I
repeat my claim: I find it hard to concern myself with people that do
not have web access.
> These types of statements are made by
> web-centric viewers.
And you need to back off on assumptions of just where my view is
centered (web vs text-only media) and the implied assumption on my
longevity. I, like many others here, predate the web.
Finally, you make some fairly spurious statistical claims-- in
claiming that 8,000,000 users subscribe to Juno, which is e-mail only,
you are implying that these people use _only_ Juno, and that therefore
at least 8,000,000 people have e-mail only. Since I know many people
that use Juno to supplement their other suite of accesses, you'll
pardon me if I remain skeptical to your base claim.
Now, what was your point as it relates to my FAQ?
