The end is nigh - for some

by Steve Hayes <hayesmstw@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jun 24, 2008 at 10:30 AM

It appears that many ISPs in the USA are dropping or curtailing Usenet
newsgroups. 

Here in South Africa the SAIX news server is becoming slower and less
accessible, and sometimes it is two days before I can download headers,
another two days before I can download bodies, and another two days before
any
replies get posted. 

It seems many people will be left with no alternative but the clunky web
interface on GoogleGroups, or e-mail mailing lists. 

For those interested in discussing all the Inklings, and who are losing
Usenet
access, this list may be an alternative:

Web page: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/eldil/

Group Email Addresses
Post message: 	eldil@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 	eldil-subscribe@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 	eldil-unsubscribe@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 owner: 	eldil-owner@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 page: http://tinyurl.com/32lsdb

It's for discussing all the Inklings and related topics -- Tolkien, Lewis,
Williams, Barfield & Co.

If your ISP is dropping newsgroups, and you can't stand the thought of
Google
groups, you might like to consider it as an alternative forum.
