Having reread my post to which this was a reply, I still have no idea
what you are talking about.
Suggestion: KISS method. It will get technical soon enough.
Just like today's phone books: you need a Ph D in library science
to find anything!

Lessee, your Organization header says "BellSouth Internet Group", so
you probably have a phonebook similar to the BellSouth one that's right
in front of me. Much like the phone books of yore, its listings are in
alphabetical order. Or did you mean some online phone book?

My apology..it's .not a response to your post per se, (clicked wrong
post) but it's a response to the subject in general.

Phone books...the non internet versions...yellow pages ...once were
helpful in that they enabled one to readily find a specific number, but
now they are mostly ads and of little use...the continuous circular
references...back to the white pages...or the internet. The key here
being READILY...that's history.

Usenet and the internet are still not the same thing, and saying they
are might still get somebody flamed if he were stubborn enough about
it. Saying that the world wide web is the internet could lead to the

I confess. <sob> I never say world wide web. I say internet instead. Is
"everybody does it" an acceptable excuse? :) <insert flame here>

I have been guilty of fuzzy thinking too. Thanks for the helpful
refresher course.
The wikipedia has a list of more common internet services and
protocols, including Usenet.

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet#Today.27s_Internet>

Some of the most used protocols in the Internet protocol suite
are IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, PPP, SLIP, ICMP, POP3, IMAP, SMTP, HTTP,
HTTPS, SSH, Telnet, FTP, LDAP, SSL, and TLS.

Some of the popular services on the Internet that make use of
these protocols are e-mail, Usenet newsgroups, file sharing, the
World Wide Web, Gopher, session access, WAIS, finger, IRC, MUDs,
and MUSHs. Of these, e-mail and the World Wide Web are clearly
the most used, and many other services are built upon them, such
as mailing lists and web logs.

Your little jibe trivializes the reason I made the remark. I was simply
explaining that as far as I was aware, usenet was *not* considered part
of the internet. I seem to be learning that currently, there are those
in this group who feel otherwise.
Searching the Internet has certain benefits over looking on the PL Site,
since new Freeware is being made available all the time, the PL Site
does not reflect these new additions.

Of course I am very much aware of this very obvious fact. Not sure what
your point is.

No. When you use your newsreader, the reader is connecting to the
server via the internet. Also, the articles have travelled to your
server from each poster's server via the internet.

Browsers don't come into it, really. The internet is larger than the
web; the internet includes ftp, chat, bittorrent, etc.

From my perspective, I connect to Supernews via my ISP's server. How
they connect that server to Supernews, I don't have a clue. One would
think that it would be via TCP/IP but I never really thought about it.

Snapfiles agrees with you. That is their heading for "internet"
software ("TCP/IP"). But Tucows calls their main category
"Internet".

Both sites try (hopefully) to be navigatable by their intended
audiences. The PL is doing that (and doing it very well, I might
add). I prefer that the PL be easily searched by *newbies*, or
actually anyone that is given the PL site as an answer to their
post. I really don't care about "PLolitically correct" changes. I
care about what works. I fully support any improvements which make
the PL easier to use, but this distinction (TCP/IP. internet,
usenet) doesn't work for me. Let it be simple, and understandable
by those we refer it to.

Prof: Test today is to show that the alternating
harmonic series with the commutative principle will
sum to any real number?
Student: Can we use calculators?

How about "Newsgroup software" and "Internet software"?

I don't have any idea what FMEA's are but I'll trade you sight unseen.
You find the author's names for the 400 plus apps that don't have that
info listed yet - I'll work on the FMEA's. Deal?

The good news is I finished the "M"'s today. Half way through the
alphabet at long last. :)

The bad news is the PWH web site is broken again - the PHP pages won't
display. arghhhhhhhhhhhhh. . .

Reminder - the mirror site is here:

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis....we recently completed several! A
handy and effective troubleshooting tool. ;) They are part of our control
plans. Are you a quality engineer Omar? I am the Lean/Quality coordinator
for a copper tube mill.

lol yep

To the optimist, the glass is half full.
To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
