I see the occasional post (last one from 09/11 - no, not that 09/11 if
there are any Americans in), the previous one 19/10, everything else
has expired off my local list.

I'm just using VM's news server, which I recall changed (or was
outsourced or something) some time ago.  As in, some time in the last
ten years.  Can't remember when.  I wonder how much use it gets? 
Suppose I'm lucky they didn't just turn it off and not provide a
replacement.  Not that I use it much.  Pop into c.s.s once or twice in
a blue moon and that's it.  Can't even be bothered to set it up on a
different computer, still using the ancient version of Microdot-II
whose config has been copied from place to place, and have to power up
the Amiga to get on it.
