[INFO] Sunsite.dk / Dotsrc.org to reduce number of groups offered (Oct 15th)

[Marco Schmidt]

News provider Sunsite.dk a.k.a. Dotsrc.org will limit access to
newsgroups somehow related to open source software or Denmark,
starting October 15th. Users connecting from a Danish IP address will
continue to be able to access all groups.

Reason: abuse cases and a decision "...to make the main focus of the
usenet service consistent with dotsrc.org's remaining policy and
focus."

Details including the future hierarchy list at
<http://dotsrc.org/usenet/accesschange/> and
<http://dotsrc.org/usenet/ossgroups/>.

Regards,
Marco

======================================
Sorry to hear that. I've enjoyed your free service here in the USA for 6
months. I'll miss it.

CR.....

Understandable and not surprising -- thanks for the ride, such as it was.
