Guys,

My ISP has had the news group totally screwed up for me since early last
spring. I was told by a fellow TDS sufferer (our ISP) that the problem may
have been resolved.

Would some of you fine folks tell me if you are reading this post? Lack
of response will indicate I'm still spitting in the wind.

Can't help but think you guys have missed my comments! :-) (Or not!)

Well, wondered why you'd been so quiet, now I know. I gave up
on my ISP and pay $7.95 (I think) a month to GigaNews. The only
problem with their service is they retain text groups like this
for FIVE years, so my reader has to sort through 400,000
messages to string the threads properly every time I open the
news group. That takes about a minute. But, the reliability
and availability of their service is light years ahead of the
contract outfit that maintained the newsgroups for my ISP,
Charter. It would go down for an entire weekend, or a group
like this would suddenly drop out and be restored with only 4
messages left. Stuff like that would happen every couple weeks.

Glad to see you again!
