in thread RFC: Subscription to nodes

I don't use the chatterbox; why should I? IRC has a much nicer interface. User homenodes isn't something I care about (after all, we do have the web already). As for HTML and such, I find it a blessing I can post plain text on Usenet; that on Usenet $a [1] only takes me 6 characters to type, and not the 19 of <code>$a [1]</code> I've to type here. This place doesn't even have the option of posting plain text, not even POD. (So much for a Perl site).

It takes far less time to post on Usenet than to post here.

    I don't use irc; why should I? The chatterbox is perfect for chatting with random monks who stop by. I love to see user home nodes, from the quick personal homenodes that let me know just a little bit more about the person behind the nickname to the gigantic repositories of information about this monastery.

    This place is better then usenet.
