Bismarck - You have always been generous and thorough, and I for one
have appreciated your efforts over the years. I have you to thank for
half of my Dick's Picks collection.
While I am not a constant presence on usenet, I have been quite
annoyed by the indecipherable-headers-and-decoder-ring stuff as well.
Some groups have been taken over, as you note. I hope you won't let
them cause you to give up on NG altogether. I still enjoy having my
own copy of things, and much, much prefer lossless formats.
