Looked in on eternal-september this am w/ no discernible problems. They
do have occasional slowdowns or apparently some uptime issues but rarely
more than a couple hours. Sundays do seem to be perhaps maintenance
I've noticed but didn't see any disruption yesterday when checked...

Worked fine for me also on eternal-september.

Works just fine from: Google groups rec.woodworking.

Can someone please explain why newsreaders are even necessary? What's
the point in having multiple servers? You buy a computer, get a phone
line with DSL, sign in for a Google account and you're off and
running. Even AOL is free now. Mystified...

Using google to access usenet is like using a bent screwdriver with a
chipped blade, a rusty wobbly dull circular saw with bad bearings and a
frayed power cord, a level with a broken bubble, and a collection of
bent nails and warped, knotty lumber to build fine cabinetry.

If you don't grok that, you don't know what you're missing. Windoze has
a built-in newsreader, I think, and an account with Eternal September or
other free provider takes 5 minutes to set up. Do it.

Another *very* good reason to avoid google groups is that many people,
including me, kill posts from google by default, in order to stop the
spam, 99.99% of which is posted from google groups. So, your posts are
not being seen, by a very significant percentage of usenet participants.
I only see them because you're among a handful of people who have stood
out enough to make my whitelist.

Thanks for the kind words. Might be time to check out other options.

Back when I was using a Mac, I used Hogwasher for quite a while, and
it's still around:

But then, it's often said that the secret to using computers is
figuring out the proper wrench to pound in the screw.
