Pain in the ass to sign up for another one. If AIOE suddenly one day is annoying enough, then I will. As for "or three", setting up some sort of thingy to combine more than one news server into a single view of the froups sounds like work, and reading everything in triplicate sounds like work. I also have *no* idea if I could get something like that working on my pad, as opposed to on a normal computer, particularly without jailbreaking it, the mere thought of which gives me the heebie-jeebies. I've heard horror stories about Apple updates crippling jailbroken devices that receive them. And I can't very well disconnect it from the 'net and still use it to post news... -- "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
