The interface appears tedious, looks silly with those identity logos on
the left side, and simply does not work as well as an NNTP server.
Frankly, P.O.A is just not worth the effort to search for content, much
less sign up and contribute, and if it was the only on-line choice; I
would simply go off-line.

The interface is awkward to learn -- but that's only because it has many
powerful shortcuts built in. Once you learn some of the shortcuts, it makes
finding (for example) only new posts since your last visit a snap.

I kinda like the identity logos. We used to have a "Rogues Gallery" of
photos of regular posters here (in fact, it's still up. See it he
http://www.alexisparkinn.com/rec_aviation.htm ) that served something of
the same function.

Wow, I just spent a couple of minutes exploring the old gallery. Imagine,
there once was a time when ALL those pilots felt so connected to this group
that they wanted their picture available for all of us to view. One by
one, the trolls have driven most of them away.

Hard to believe, or remember....
