I am also a person that dislikes using web-based forums. If one is
established, it would hope that posting to it would also automatically post
to the nttp server and visa versa. I realize that many people like
web-based forums, but I have always found them to be be awkward, slow, and
inconvenient. A good nttp reader is not hard to find. I use 40tude-dialog
which enables me to see the posts as either flat or threaded at my
pleasure.
