Google groups is behaving very erratically at the moment with this NG
but others are o.k. There are only new posts appearing after the troll
deluge, but not all of them are showing up. I checked with Pan and they
are all still there. I used free-text.usenetserver.com, which should be
public. My ISP doesn't have a news server on the contract I have with
them. However I do have a 2Mb DSL line, so google groups is far more
convenient for me to use.
