OK. Thanks for the info. I've been with GigaNews like forever but I did
sign up with Astraweb 2 or 3 years ago for some reason I can't even
remember now. Anyway, as I remember, I wasn't even allowed to post through
them without emailing for permission or something. I didn't stay with them
long.
But I'm not too cheap to spend $10, I guess, but other than for this
particular occasion, I don't really need another newsserver.
