I don't know if it is a problem with AOL, UseNet, or my computer,
but in this particular newsgroup, I miss many of the messages. I
only get two or three a day, then I see a long string of quotes
from messages I never got. Of course there are many I could easily
do without, LOL. However, if you post a message in response to
something I wrote, or you think it would interest me, please be
kind enough to cc my e-mail address.
Thanks.



I notice that some low traffic newsgroups tend to not arrive at
AOL's servers, or at least not as much as could be. That is one
reason that I use Teranews (
www.teranews.com) to read this one and a
few others. It is free, up to some huge number of bytes per day, but
you do need to use an external newsreader to read and post. One
slight issue with teranews, is that it often gets double posts.
