I use Google to read RRSW and lately all the newest postings are 2

the rest of you have this problem or is it just a Google thing?


Who is your ISP ? Google works fairly-- reliably for most of the time .


I use dslextreme who uses a third party usenet provider. Google Groups
is for pussies.


It seems rare to have a quality ISP provide usenet, now-a-days, AT&T
(yahoo) does not.

It seems strange to me that such a service as usenet (was here at almost
the very beginning of ARPANET) is ignored by ISP ... it would seem as
logical as email to be provided!

I could see banning binaries ... and it would seem to be a simple matter
of recognizing them, even if encrypted, by simple "data pattern"
recognition ... encoded pictures/music simply makes a different pattern
in the encrypted data, than that of text ...

I just find it strange ... like when "something doesn't feel right" to
you ... or, you sense someone watching you.
