Last night when I posted resp:16, I was seeing a big delay upon
logon. I left the browser window open and used putty to connect
instead, and a few minutes after I complained, Backtalk came up and
was fine from then on. It's working fine now, too.

Re resp:19: For some reason, backtalk can't seem to handle initializing
this conference. If you visit this conference first in Picospan, it
works after that.

It appears to be time - if not past time - to block the IP addresses
used by a certain set of twits.

Vanilla interface of Backtalk does not seem to respect user filter
options.

I scribbled a few responses in coop. Each time I scribbled a response, BBS
segfaulted.
Could this possibly be a result of i's recent idiocy?

Hmmm...Picospan also dies with "Memory fault" for me; it doesn't seem to
matter if i'm a fw or not. (The scribble does take place. When i go
back to look at it, Picospan looks like it's having to fix up the sum
file, though.)
I wonder if this is an issue with our BSD port of PicoSpan. Any other
circumstances where you've noticed Picospan bombing?

I noticed errors after you unilaterally deleted benign user comments in coop.

The difference is that I abhor GUI usage the way Unabomber abhors the
industrial revolution. To me, replacing picospan with a browser friendly
version would be like NPR producing some kind of Fear Factor reality segment.

I pefer picospan because it is a simple text interface. I prefer text e-mail
also, also for simplicity and speed. Here is my .sig file:

I want to apply this to conferencing too.

That's a great .sig, Rane. I often have to wait a day or so before I'll
bother reading any non-text email.

So, what advantages does fronttalk have over picospan?

The disadvantage: "the program is actually a specialized web-browser that
makes HTTP requests to a Backtalk system to read and post to the conferences.
This means that it can be run on any Unix system to access any Backtalk system
on the web that supports it."
The advantage: "it is the only open-source Picospan clone"
