If OP wants to do this for fun, I hope he succeeds in finding what he's
looking for. If he's doing it to save money, he'd be better off going

Another refugee transferring back from MyFace or whatever. Nice to see the post counts in Usenet going back up, it was always the most interesting bit of the internet.
