Hi!
I finally took the step of joining Usenet. While Usenet was around when
I first played with internet, I heard about it only when the web
reached 2.0. I guess this is as good a time as any to explore it.
Greetings, everyone!
PS: This is also a test of my client (claws) settings. TLS especially.

before. The spam and quietness of many groups is a problem, but I
find the technology logical.

to comment (or troll :/) if there's something there.
(Or it's just quiet because of time of year -- not a whole lot happening
up here in the frozen north by way of "gardening" for example)

Yip. Here the radio says snow chains are a good idea. Luckily I can
stay inside.

an inhabitant of the nets than meat-space, so it's ok-ish.
Cold and dry is fine, then I like longer walks outside juggling ideas
without having a keyboard at hand, but we are in the wet fresh snow
phase which is just ugly.
