Nancy, you may remember that you and I were having the same problems some
time back; i.e., your posts didn't appear and other messages were missing.

The Ranger suggested I switch to http://www.news.individual.net and I did.
I'm very happy with it to date - it even filters out all the sleazy posts
being put on all newsgroups. My ISP news server doesn't bother to do that.

Dora, back at the time when you switched to news.individual.net, I
thought I'd give it a try as an alternative to my provider. I sent in
the information for registration and got their standard auto-responder
reply, but never heard from them again.

Then I'd try again. It took them a few days for a "real person" to reply,
but reply they did. I think they must establish that you're not a spammer,
or something, before giving you access to the news server. After that, you
set it up just like any other news server.

Strange. Maybe a network glitch or something. I've been using them for
years and they're pretty good. I'd try again.

I checked their site and I have 2 problems with them:
1) You are not allowed to 'spam-proof' your return address
2) You can't post binaries

Item 2 impacts posts to alt.food.binaries as well as other 'legitimate'
(non-porn) groups. I understand what they want to stop, but they cast too
wide of a net.

Re Item 1, I set up a Yahoo e-mail address for newsgroup purposes.

Re Item 2, I can appreciate this would cause a problem for those wishing to
post binaries. This news server works for me, but I can appreciate that it
may not work for everyone.

The reason for no binaries is to reduce the need for storage space.

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand binary and those who do not.
