Default Discontinuance of newsgroups -- would anyone be interested in a leafnode service?

As various ISPs are announcing that they will no longer carry
newsgroups, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in me
setting up a public newsserver, that would serve 2-3 newsgroups like
rec.crafts.metalworking, sci.engr.joining.welding, rec.woodworking,
for example. That would be a free service. It will not cost me much,
besides setup time. I cannot offer all newsgroups, but 2-5 or so,
should be possible.



Hey Iggy,

If we NEED to do it, I'd be happy to oblige. I don't think the "need"
is here yet, but...........
