- Thor's terminology is NOT standard or correct. The internet is NOT a BBS.
- Newsgroups are NOT 'message bases.' Articles are NOT 'messages.' You
- don't 'download' your 'message packet.'
-
- These are just throwbacks from Thor's legacy. It seems to be more of a
- hacked-up QWK reader than an actual piece of news/mail software.
