"Perhaps GNET didn't understand" Of course they understood. But they have their priorities. Making sure that SI carries the unmistakable smell of the GNET standard from the first keystroke forward is part of that plan. The inadequacy of the Classic SI Imitator was deliberate. SI management told me plainly that they would not duplicate old SI. No reason was given. The "classic SI focus group" was a diversion. I am ashamed to have been associated with it. The one thing we cannot escape is that the user community is the single truly interchangeable component of SI. GNET Command will not hesitate ... indeed probably expects to alienate and disperse the old SI faithful. Then they can replace them with newer members who don't know different. You got the Silicon Investor mass PM spam same as me. GNET claimed that the old SI servers werte part of the problem in ensuring good service. I don't believe that for a heartbeat. Instead the old SI format was a hurdle to the total 100% GNETization of the Dryers' old community. <edit> I didn't ONCE in two years get a total Netscape crash on my Mac from old SI. I have suffered THREE in the last 24 hours. Good service my maiden aunt Fanny.
