Why are half the people in this group suddenly switching to this news.tds.net 
NNTP provider?

I ask because that NNTP provider is b0rken:

1. Every post has the same NNTP-Posting-Host header, even from people I
    know are not sockpuppets of one another, e.g. you, Robert Klemmke,
    David Lamb, and Jim Janney all have recent posts with
    NNTP-Posting-Host: 69.21.70.65.

2. Posts through that server have the References: header stripped. As
    a result, every time any of you posts through that server it breaks
    a piece off the thread you're replying to, causing clutter and making
    discussions more difficult to follow.

3. It seems to fuck up character encodings, most noticeably when Vajhoj
    posts or is replied to via TDS as he has a non-ASCII character in his
    name.

Please switch back to your original providers, or if you can't for some reason, 
such as because they closed, please find something better than TDS to replace 
them with. AIOE works well enough for me and does not break References: when I 
reply or screw up encoding the o character. It does not require signup. 
Eternal-September is something I often see recommended, does require signup, 
but is free. Either of those is probably better than (and maybe even cheaper 
than) this TDS, from all indications.
