MT is nice, but it's primarily a blogging manager, not a discussion group system. The license is semi-OS: there are no redistribution rights. For proper discussion groups, I highly recommend actually setting up a news server and adding interfaces to it. The most flexible, of course, are "real" news reader software packages, but there are various HTML-based interfaces available. -dsr- -- Lois McMaster Bujold and Terrance Dicks's _Dr Who: Miles Away!_, in which the heroic Time Lord's attempts to overthrow an oppressive star empire are repeatedly thwarted by an infuriating dwarf. --Graham Woodland
