I just want to say *thanks* for this great service. I don't understand
how anyone can say it's unreliable, sure - it have been going up and
down a little. But considering it have gone *up* after just a short
while means we should be thankfull. At last I would like to pointout
that this newsserver actually is *better* than the one my ISP provides
me with, my ISP's server is *slow* but this server is about 2-3 faster
(eventhough I probably have to cross the world a couple of times before
connecting!) plus this server don't have any junk mail / spamms / etc...
