The problem with all the big ISP'/NSP's is your favourite post can disappear
before you have a chance to download it due to take-down notices. I use
Tweeknews for blocks because they ignore them for weeks/months and sometimes
completely.
At the end of the day Spike - It's what works for you that counts.
