I rarely post in this newsgroup, but read it often, and I'm amazed
there are NO new posts since 3/11.
I don't remember going that long without seeing new posts.
I thought my newsreader (Agent 8.0) had a problem but
I hadn't changed any settings, and I did get new
posts in some of the other newsgroups I frequent.
Oh well, guess there's not much to say (although
every Thursday someone posts about the
free games on Epic).

There have been a number of posts and threads over the last 9 days.

If in doubt, services like newsgrouper.org are really useful in
determining if it's a lack of posts or just your NTTP server acting
up. And newsgrouper shows there have been ~40+ posts made since 11
March. And it is probably more than that, since I'm just counting
posts made to new threads, and there's certain weirdos in this group
who necropost months-old threads for some reasons. ;-)

There have been plenty of posts since that date. Your issue may lie
with your news provider, not your news reader.

I agree. Also, there's some people here who complain about responding to
old messages. It's a free country, dumbass, unless you live in Belgium
or where ever Spalls lives. I'm sure they are about to enact a law
restricting your freedom to responding to any post over 6 months. Live
free and don't infringe on other people's freedom, SPALLS! Why don't you
sue your justice system because people are responding to six months old
posts. It's an emergency, SPALLS!

I'd never moan for brains. Have you ever eaten brain? It's disgusting.

That's why I do all my necroposting quietly.

My newsreader is so old, it only supports one news-server (I actually
have multiple copies installed to handle different servers). ;-)


Good to see the problem is solved.
