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. -- "To explain the unknown by the known is a logical procedure; to explain the known by the unknown is a form of theological lunacy." ~David Brooks --- BBBS/Li6 v4.10 Dada-1 * Origin: Prism bbs (1:261/38) --- Synchronet 3.16a-Win32 NewsLink 1.98 Time Warp of the Future BBS - telnet://time.synchro.net:24
