I thought nntp died years ago. Replaced by web forums (along with
mailing list) in which the moderators have somewhat control over.
idiots killed the news servers.
dead protocols: nntp aka news, gopher, archie, plain text telnet
(except for local servers), and others?
plain static html sites are almost dead.
I recommend you use firefox to read mail from a news to web gateway
site. I think it will be much faster.
nntp going down in the history books with aol!
