John,

Yes there are already archives available in a great many formats and payment
options. But I have been toying with the idea for a few years now (since
before I made abpo) and now havethe facility to build a news-server to serve
abpo and rgo to people. Basically, I will be building the server with a
"never delete messages" option for myself, Rays (and a few others) dilemma
just causes me to want to make it go public a few years earlier than I had
intended.

Thanks for the clarification, Kye.

OK so it is blocked from even getting onto Usenet! That makes life
difficult. Please explain in more detail your proposal, "I have been
looking at setting up a news-group server for hosting abpo and rgo
archives. As it would be publicly accessible, would that alleviate the
pressures for you???"

There are archives already available e.g.

Cheers

John

My guess is that Verizon, my ISP, blocked me from posting it on their
servers, so there is nothing to be copied to yours.

Haven't seen it yet Ray.

I have in the past accidentally posted photos to RGO and these have
appeared, so not sure that they will necessarily get stripped off.

As was mentioned yesterday, as such groups are not intended for images,
some ISP's block them.

I posted a message on RGO yesterday with an image (via Verizon), has
anyone seen it?
