Thanks, am 'ordering' it. :)

I mainly hang out on de.rec.garten (garden stuff, in German, for my  
balcony plants and now bird watching :) ) and a couple Doctor Who  
groups. Also subscribed to rec.arts.sf.written and rasf.composition (the  
latter is pretty much empty) and a few other groups.

I saw that there's also a .misc, which could fit better for general  
chat. :P

Yup! Friends and I share them, too, in a private Steam group chat, and  
we have different sources for being informed/sharing them with others  
too.

Well, once I'm done with the latest Terraria update, you could  
bully^Wencourage me to continue the Ultima 7 play through I started once  
upon a time with recording and uploading to youtube. (Very amateur, I  
think a friend said I should cut some bits, oh well.) Only 2 episodes  
online yet.

Taking suggestions on length and other stuff. :)

(Now I have to watch them myself to know what I did.)
