There are a number of good free text group newsservers, such as Eternal
September, and at least one paid-for one with a good reputation that
only costs 10GBP a year (news.individual.net). So I hope we don't have
to lose you.


Thankyou. I will look into it. Two caveats though... The one free one I
looked at so far isn't free if I want to post. The other is that the truly
free ones may be a haunt of trolls, Eternal September is a namd I have read
in contexts of posters naming some systems with a bad hit-rate for troll
sources. Ideally I'll try to find a paid service that is cheap, quiet, likely
to stay put for a long time, but I think my priority might best be that web
hosting. I mentioned a phase mod synthesiser in various posts when I could
indulge it the reference, and the editor on which the final product will be
based is tested working on all Win32 now, so it's time I started looking for
an ISP that can help me host it cheaply as part of main ISP provision to save
costs. I suspect they won't have Usenet, but I'll look at your suggestion of
news.individual.net, it may well be a lot better than what I saw last night..
