With a good newsreader, one can use different servers for different
groups.  Indeed, that can be essential, because (IIRC) Mozilla does not
peer, so to post here you must use a non-Mozilla server, and to get the
attention of the Mozilla locals you mist use Mozilla's server.

For those who prefer Italians, <http://aioe.org/> is in Rome - or at
least its letter-box is.  I use mainly AIOE and E-S.

It is well to have more than one server available.
