Those of us who actually *use* the RoadRunner usenet servers (with real NNTP clients) are screwed, especially when you consider they didn't actually notify their customers of this change. Still don't see how it s a bad thing. Getting the aol users of Usenet is nothing but good. September 1993 is when AOL == Arse-holes On Line Generally not a lot has changed. We may loose a few good people but get rid of thousands of idiots. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/ |

Still don't see how it s a bad thing. Getting the aol users of Usenet is nothing but good. AOL discontinued its usenet access more than three years ago. See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/01...ff_newsgroups/ Generally not a lot has changed. We may loose a few good people but get rid of thousands of idiots. The only folks left on usenet are the old fogeys. Like any group of old fogeys, there are those 'few good people' and the 'senile old farts'.. C'est la vie. Granted, we still have the spambots running amok trying to sell crap to the endless-summer hordes, but those hordes have long since moved on to blingier crap. - Solomon -- Solomon Peachy pizza at shaftnet dot org Melbourne, FL ^^ (mail/jabber/gtalk) ^^ Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum viditur.
