Changing News Server

Oct 02, 2008 13 Replies

Comcast is discontinuing newsgroups, so I have signed up with motzarella.org for access. I will continue using the sign-on name "BEIDesign".



Carry on.

Excellent. There are many roads that lead to Rome. Blocking one of them does not prevent one from reaching one's objective.

We always carry on. And will continue.

There was a write-up in today's paper about many of their customers irked at their service after IKE. Emily

I replied to the e-mail notification with "And of course, Comcast is going to reduce the monthly internet connection charge by $7.99 a month (which is the cost of giganews)?"

No answer yet...

I'm so surprised!

I never used my ISP's news server but rather

at $5 a year or

at $10 a year. Either arefast and reliable and worth the small amount, IMO. FWIW, I've heard nothing good about motzarella - google it to see...

The staff in the billing department are still ROFLOL.

You're assuming they can read?

Do you carry alt.sewing.mach-embroider, a binary group?

Hi. Yes we carry "alt.sewing.mach-embroider".

alt.sewing.mach-embroider is not a binary group IIRC. Perhaps you are thinking of alt.embroidery.binaries or alt.binaries.embroiderydesigns?

Oooops! Yes, you're correct. I had to drop alt.binaries.embroiderydesigns when my ISP quit carrying USENET, and I switched to another server that doesn't carry binaries. Thanks for the correction.

Hi. I have just now added "alt.binaries.embroiderydesigns" to the list of groups we carry. It doesn't seem like a very active group.
