OT - MIA

My ISP's news server is still down due to the power outage.
I just "love" posting from Google groups.
Back in action as soon as things get cleared up.

Use the free one in Germany, formerly known as News.CIS.DFN.DE:

http://news.individual.net/
News.Individual.NET

It takes a couple of days for them to set up the account and password.

Naw - tends to restrict breathing somewhat... Yes ISP Is Toronto based
but I am not - happy to report - swapping news servers is a total pain
and posting via Google Groups is a total pain.
