- I think (and others have said it as well) that a dirt-simple (well, ok,
- maybe to this level is impossible) waffle-installer-thingie would help the
- users who _can_ install a QWK reader, and would _like_ to have full
- Usenet non-munging capabilities, but don't feel like installing waffle.
-
- and yes, this in itself would only help the ms-dog users. and only those
- who have the noggin-filler. but, we should be able to get the AMOUNT of
- noggin-filler required lower and lower...
-
- but not too low. :-)
