I’m sure all you mailing list regulars noticed the threads coming  
through this morning that were never started here. Those were from  
the newsgroup. We had the gateway half restored this morning.

Sadly, we were not able to restore the other half yet, so we’ve shut  
it back down.

Our last hurdle is finding a newsgroup the code can post from. We  
have two people looking into options for this and will report back  
when we know more…

Subscriptions to Usenet services can be found from $5 to $15/month.  
Most are binary oriented; but, many offer discussion groups. Perhaps a  
collection could be taken up?

donated the account.

We have generously been donated an account. The Gateway needs an  
upgrade to work with it, but I’ll handle that as soon as I have time…
