Re: LYNX-DEV more on the newspost problem

[Larry W. Virden, x2487]

>Both formats work here with Lynx2.6FM 0127 and 0129, and with Lynx 2.7.

After my report here, I popped off a note to the webmaster at
genetics.upenn.edu.  He wrote back a 'head scratching' note to
the effect "I never heard of nntp: before", so I popped into lynx, went
thru the help screens to the RFC, and sent him the URL.  But the time
the other folk here tried it, he had changed!  That`s service - and that's
what a lot of webmasters will do to conform to standards, if folk are just
polite (rather than sarcastic, flaming, etc.) and point out official 
standards.

I don't claim that _all_ webmasters will make such changes, but some
have.
