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.

Wow, several minutes for a page to load? Holy s...t!! I knew you were on dial up but I didn't think it was that slow!
Have you checked into something like DirecTv, where you get the dish for tv and internet.
I guess the MSM newsbot could have it's own section for those that want news.
By the time I log onto the forum I've read all the news I can handle. LOL
