What is NNTP?

NNTP is the newsgroup protocol which lets you read/write to these forums
through a newsreader. For example, Thunderbird, the email program I
use, has a newsreader built in, so these forums have, for the past many
years, all come right into my email. Makes it real easy to read and
reply. With a forum, you need to log in, deal with annoying avatars and
try to follow all the interesting threads. It is so much easier to just
get them in email and deal with them as I see fit.

Craig! You didn't really ask that question, did you? :-0
Since you're using MSOE, your hands are dipping in it now.

Network News Transfer Protocol. One of many Internet protocols, such as
HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), File Tranfer Protocol (FTP), Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), Gopher, and many others.

Out of respect for your voice talent (among other talents), I will not
hit you with a lmgtfy.com link >-)

You might like this one, though:

It sounds like this is a term I should have known about. Oh well, my
ignorance is out in the open now. But thanks for the explanation and the
link.

Nah. Old dinosaurs like me, from the ARPANET era, get that way
sometimes. We're gasping for our last breaths while the HTTP asteroid
is crashing down on us.

I hope I didn't come across too strongly. It was meant to be humorous,
but I HAVE been absent from here for a while.

[WOMP]

No offense taken, I was just responding with my own self-depricating sense
of humor. Of course, I might be the only one who sees the word ignorant not
as stupid but having no knowledge of something, as in ignoring it. So I
don't use that in a derogatory way.

Thanks Mark.

That is exactly how I use the term - well, not necessarily ignoring,
but simply unknowing or unaware of the knowledge. The main purpose of
my .sigfile is for ME to read it, since I am forced to see it every
time I post to newsgroups.

Stupid does exist, but ignorant is not stupid.

I HAVE occasionally used lmgtfy.com link on people, though ;)
