Can't use any other than installed warez on the public library systems
here; can install warez on these here college systems (not supposed
to, but you can--I run a C compiler and the R Language that way--and
the HDs get flushed every night) but they apparently BLOCK NNTP ports/
servers.
Believe me, I tried.
America's War Against Usenet came after the DMCA but before CISPA SOPA
PIPA etc., and now few ISPs or even colleges offer it--and I must say
I don't think much of any so-called college CS/IT department that
doesn't run a newsserver.
What's even scarier, if possible, is how the number of web-portals/
gateways to Usenet have dwindled. To, like, about one.
