I think we should find an empty group, regardless of what it's called.
I like the cozy little neighborhood we have in here.
a.b.t.m. would eventually invite just more spam.
As long as the group has the word 'binaries' in it, Giganews will
allow binaries.
I have no affection for EN...I have both EN and Giga and will
eventually pull out of EN, since their new owners are clueless.
I've really kept it the past few months, because of' this' group.
Who else in here has only EN. If I'm the only one, that makes the
choice even easier. If others have EN, we have to pick one that they
are currently allowing on their new servers. (of which 'this' one is
not.)
