On the 15th of each month, there is a posting to the Usenet newsgroups
news.announce.newgroups, news.groups, and news.lists.misc with the
subject "List of Big Eight Newsgroups".

[compton ~]$ zgrep www.brows big.8.list.12.15.07.gz 
comp.infosystems.www.browsers.mac       Web browsers for the Macintosh
platform.
comp.infosystems.www.browsers.misc      Web browsers for other platforms.
comp.infosystems.www.browsers.ms-windows        Web browsers for MS Windows.
comp.infosystems.www.browsers.x Web browsers for the X-Window system.
[compton ~]$ 

You'd probably have better luck in one of those groups. Depending on
your news server, you _may_ also find two other non-standard groups
named "alive.internet.www.browsers.lynx" and "cern.lynx"
that may be
useful.    This group ("comp.os.linux.help") is not widely used,
having
been replaced by comp.os.linux.misc in December 1994.

While I do use 'lynx', I do so under Linux, and have NO idea how it

as I have no need of it.

I do not use it every day, but I love Lynx. Now and then I use it for
various things. Miss the days when it was pretty much the standard web

Ahh yes. I like elinks these days when I need a text browser but by the 
time I get everything hacked up the way I like it it closely resembles 
lynx.  Terminals are very useful things whatever people want to tell 
you. If you just want to search for something and you don't care about 
all this stupid javascript and interactive stuff then nothing is better 
than a good textmode browser. Too often people  don't use commandline 
applications because they don't look nice! Bleh! It's not what it looks 
like that matters, it's whether it does the job you wanted. I always 
have a terminal window open for a reason. I'd not use a GUI at all if I 
thought I could still get away with it. When you're doing things 
remotely over SSH as I do a lot then elinks or lynx and other tools from

My dad still uses it.  I don't mention it, because then I have to hear a
lecture about the good old days before all these dad-blamed images clogged
