Does anyone know of another site offering this functionality? Has it ever been seen in the wild? Re: Nice!

Id probably never turn off the computer again if that happened, and slowly lose all contact with the outside world ... I spend a lot of time on comp.misc and really love Usenet in ways the WWW has never really re-implemented (for better or for worse).
