    Will a UseNet group (similar to those that I think are being set up
    for FF and TB) be set up for SM??

    At the moment, I'm just putting out feelers, if there's "enough"
    interest, I'll go ahead and create them and request newsadmins to carry
    them.

    I'm not directly interested in seamonkey, but if you adapt my proposal
    to suit, and it gets support, I'll do a three-for-two deal :-)

    Thank you, Andy. ;-)

    I'm interested.

    I have only used SeaMonkey or it's Netscape predecessors to access the internet. I find USENET much more practical than browser accessed fora.

    Is the existence of n.p.m.seamonkey sufficient for you guys, so that a
    new alt.comp.software.seamonkey isn't required?

    On the news-server news.aioe.org
    I see mozilla.support.seamonkey

    Will this also be removed soon ?

    Yes, but it only receives traffic from news.mozilla.org, it doesn't send
    it back, so you'll only communicate with fellow aioe users, not

    Depends if giganews rmgroup all the groups before turning the server
    off, but even if they don't it'll stop receiving articles from news.mozilla.org, so will feel somewhat lonely ...
