i'm sorry for my tone, but i find it frustrating. i live in an isolated location. i have no tv, a dialup connection that disallows most online news sources, and have access to one hardcopy newspaper. the newsbot has brought me a lot of news that i have not heard elsewhere, or before any other source. for example, i learned of the n korean nuke test here last night, via newsbot. i heard it on cbc this morning.
there are now 5 or 6 threads on this topic. that's derailing the forum too.
perhaps newsbot could have its own category. but don't deny me the variety of relevant things i read on the newsbot's posts.

i live without the access to fast internet that most of you enjoy. it takes several minutes for most pages to load, with my connection. as a result, there are only a handful of places i go online. i have other things to do besides spending half my time online, waiting for pages to load.
