Is Motzarella down?
Been using Motzarella for "alt.home.repair" and "alt.autos.Pontiac". As of
three weeks ago I cannot access any of the postings. Also tried RCM, it loads but only up to 6/30/2009. If you try to read a message you get "Message is no longer available on the server". Is Motzarella dead? Anybody here using it? Did my subscription expire (never knew I had one)? Thanks, Ivan Vegvary |

Thanks, Ivan Vegvary Motzarella changed over to a different name. You should have a user name and password for an account, those will still work with the new system. This is the new version. http://www.eternal-september.org/ -- Steve W. |

Your ISP might have surreptitiously dropped access to the alt. hierarchy, because of paranoia that some kid might see titties. Hope This Helps! Rich |

He's not trying to access Usenet through his ISP. He's trying to access it through Motzarella. And that's not going to work, as indicated above. |

I was ass-u-me-ing that it was a gag name for "Mozilla". Sorry for the confusion. Thanks, Rich |

After reading the web site and the E-Mails again I STILL wonder... I don't get the "for technical reasons we have to change the servers part" It would seem that new servers wouldn't require a full name change, unless there is some legalese behind it?? -- Steve W. |

It is a reference to when usenet used to get flooded with newbies every September as new students came on line -- and it took a while to get netequette pounded into them. Once AOL started offering usenet, and other similar ISPs, there came a constant influx of newbies, who eventually outnumbered those who knew how things worked on usenet, leading to the posting in HTML, regular top-posting (instead of interleaved quoting), and similar offenses -- and not enough mass of older users to pound sense into them. So -- we are currently living through an "eternal September" -- even though places like AOL have dropped usenet -- after flooding it with newbies which changed the flavor forever.
