"protoss"

I believe when forum messages are synconized to the newsgroups any file attachments also get posted.

both ways? what about attachment size? in the usenet they're splitting attachments to the size of a few kbs (150 i think). that's a limit but i guess it's conform to the netiquette.

"protoss"

Newsgroups do not allow editing/deleting of messages, [...]

...i know. it's a good idea to wait 5 minutes before posting a new message to the newsgroup. i can't wait really long, as we all use the same news server and therefor expect an immediate refresh of the list.
alternatively you could post an edited version as a reply to the original one. but IMO that's screwing up the newsgroup.

"protoss"

The only thing I can imagine to improve the current sync solution is to make it buffered [...]

that goes hand in hand with your other idea to wait a few minutes before syncing.
alternatively to the cron script we could set up a daemon, but that's a little bit overkill, perhaps Smile

and as for parsing while syncing:
the quotes tag could be parsed and made conform to the usenet with "Protoss wrote on 09/30/2002:" and the appropriate ">" Wink

other FUD code must be disabled or parsed before syncing...
