    Hi Rick,

    Ask Kevin. He'll set you up. Works a charm (for CSIPH anyway).

    Yes, Kevin set me up on nntp.csiph.com quite some time ago, and I see
    that it does not rely on Google as a feed. I'll use this unless someone
    has an even better suggestion.

    I do appreciate CSIPH newsgroup from Kevin. But I'd like to surf a lot
    more of it without the throttling and Al-Gore-Ismic "Mother May I?"
    aspect of Gooble.

    What are folks using to search the NG? I'm just keeping up with the
    current massages, but I've turned to [the Dark Side] web based searches.
    Which are controlled by dark forces...

    I need to do something here, maybe some time in 2024 I will set up a WWW gateway to the news server. I have retention to around 2003 for CSIPH,
    other comp groups 2011 or so. Would like to crawl G to get the rest
    some time.
