Thanks but I have already got MS newsgroups. Are you saying that no one
supports Wanadoo newsgroups? Blair "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Blair" wrote in message ... I used to be able to access this news group but cannot any more.

I dropped Wanadoo after March for that very reason, they dropped ng's
without warning. Im now with Madasafish and very happy with it. For binaries I use Forte Agent. -- Kenny Cargill "Gordon" wrote in message ... "Blair" wrote in message ...

Individual.net is a spam and troll haven with no active abuse staff, and hides the NNTP-Posting-Host making abusers totally unaccountable. Because of this, what was once a good news server now receives very little if any propagation thanks to unmitigated abuse. You're better off going with Teranews. They're cheaper, they propagate, and they don't tolerate abuse. http://www.teranews.com/

Go search through news.admin.net-abuse.usenet, individual.net comes up on a regular basis as the source of much chagrin among news administrators. I know my news server drops individual.net posts because of this.
