OK, the number of posts here and at abpo have been mighty slim. Are we
abandoning newsgroups?
I'm reluctant to give up the friends and resources, too. I'm lucky enough to
be able to afford Giganews, but I've been posting texts and binaries to, and
have been able to read posts on Motzarella, too. So far, no cost, though who
knows how long that will last.

Ray Banana, the fellow that runs Motzarella.org, has largely given up on
binaries for now. As a side effect he's in a good position to remain
fairly low bandwidth with the new eternal september.
However, he did have to setup a 3rd news-server recently.


I just used Motzarella to post one picture on ABPO. I hope everyone can
see it.

I could!! I could!! Seems like I am the only one there anymore?

Hi Tennis,
I couldn't see your post on ABPO, but that's expected because I'm using
Motzarella. Those of us using that (free) service can post with or
without pictures and receive all the posts that include no picture. On
rare occasions we see pictures from other news servers.
Other than you saying so here, I wouldn't have a clue that you posted
anything there until Tom replied. I could see the link to the picture on
the web site in his reply.
Beautiful flower, by the way! :-)

PS Our power went off for a minute just as I finished typing the above.
I saved this and started...............

PPS Everything above was written on Tuesday evening. Now, Wednesday
evening, I will continue....
As I was saying, the power went off. Battery backup let me save what I
was doing. I sat there wondering (for just a moment) whether to leave
the computer on and let the glow from the monitor help me find my way to
find a flashlight. Before I decided, the power came back on. I found a
flashlight and put it in my pocket. I started to write the PS and it
went off again. I shut down the computer and it came back on for 30
seconds then went off for good. Power was off from 10:45 until 3:30 AM
or so. We had snow and high winds. It snowed all night and continued
with light snow all day today. Over a foot of snow in October. Go figure.

Global warming, Steve! I've been watching the early cold snaps, including
one down here. Granted, 55 degrees in the middle of the night is not
disastrous. But it's practically unheard of in October in these parts.

Stay warm. I still have my polartec sack, if I need it, LOL!
