I finally gave up on the free NNTP services - too spotty. Most ISPs have
a contract with one of the news services and don't house their own
servers.


Scott Seidman glommed me on to the one I'm using now.
It's free and it's been very reliable. It did take about 10
days before my account was activated.

Alas, this is the one that's pulling their free accounts. Still, 10 euros
a year is very reasonable for a service this reliable.

It is ? How did you find out ? They haven't sent me any requests

Are they *actually* gonna kill us, if we don't pay up?!!!!

Um.......my Dutch ain't what it used to be. Does "verdamte scweinhunder
abgehacken" sound like a bad thing?

Well, it could also be pork hocks with kraut and mashed potatoes!

Wolfgang
ever the optimist.

Unfortunately for a lot of people, yes.
