Ok, I have news.

Finally:)

I've gotten a new feed. This has ended up necessitating completely
replacing all of the public groups, to ensure a good sync with the public
usenet feed.

If some posts may have vanished due to this, sorry, but there's not much I
can do about it now.

Because of the vast number of drive by spammings of the server, it will no
longer be open for posting. Instead, if you want to post, you're going to
need to get a userid and password from me. Reading will continue to be
allowed to one and all, but posting will require authentication. Note,
however, that I'm not going to charge for the privelege of posting, and I
have no intention of doing so. Of course, on the gripping hand, posting to
this server is completely at my whim... but in general I think I'm a
reasonable guy, so I don't anticipate a lot of problems.

If you want to get a uid/pwd combo, I'm going to need some basic
information, such as:

 Name
 Email
 City/Province/Country

I will not accept registrations from emails in the hotmail.com, yahoo.com,
etc domains; if you want to get a userid, I'm going to have to have a real
address, not a throwaway web address.

To get a uid, please send a message to support at consultron.ca with the
subject line "News Server User Request", including the information listed
above.

Any uid that is caught spamming will be terminated immediately, without
appeal or recourse, and absolutely without remorse. Depending on the
nature of the spam, I may pass any relevant information about it to the
user's provider, all the way on up to any relevant law enforcement
authorities, including such institutions as SEC in case of stock
manipulation, as well as more traditional law enforcement authorities for
other more mundane nasty activities.

Anyway, the server's basically back up and running. Please feel free to
enjoy!

Regards,

Jack

[Moderator's note:  Because of the incredible increase in SPAM lately I 
 will now endeavor to add DESPAM to email addresses in all posts to 
 the News list. Yes I  know that the ReplyTo and From addresses are 
 not modified.  This action is to  protect email addresses that will 
 appear in HTML pages.  If you wish to send a  response to someone 
 listed in the post be sure to remove the "DESPAM" from  any email 
 address in the body of the post.]
