Jeez, I remember some cock from the Wales Usenet organisation attempting
to remove this group as he'd not give his personal approval for it.
This is still here and they've gone!

I'm testing my newsreader with an SSL connection.

Sorry for making you jump; that was not my intention. Yes, I remember
that, and I remember the argument. Didn't someone suggest that there
wasn't a Wales Usenet organisation or something? Obviously someone had
died and made that cock God.

Good luck with your test.

Yes

Course it helps to have a news service that has a SSL connection. I
think you fail there, shorty.

The 'cock' wouldn't accept that he couldn't have the ng removed from
every news service all the time it was being used.

They now have a dead site
http://www.wales-usenet.org/

In fact the UK hierarchy hasn't been amended for 13 years

I hardly ever use usenet these days. Just check a few PHP programming
groups and, being the sad git that I am, alt.binaries.pictures.rail Any
suggestions of a good free server that allows binary posting so that I can
add my train pics?

There was one - Teranews, but it's dead. You could cough up a few quid
for some everlasting usenet blocks from a server like Usenet-News

http://usenet-news.net/index1.php?url=get

It'll cost you a couple of quid.

For wales.*, the contact address is Emyr Wyn Morris control@wales-
usenet.org. There used to be an elected committee, but it now appears to
be defunct. The website is at <http://www.wales-usenet.org/>.


It was this cock who made a fuss, as JS suggested, he's probably snuffed
it.

The wales.* hierarchy is entirely separate from the uk.* hierarchy.

The overall structure of uk.* may not have changed but there have been
plenty of changes within that structure. uk.net.news.announce has the
relevant messages.

Now you are just being silly. It's more like 99% :-) If you talk to nearly
any internet user they will have no idea what newsgroups are. Come to think
of it a lot of them won't know there's anything other that Farcebook and
Twatter on the internet. Sad days.......

I'm sure I used to use Teranews a long time ago. As for the other one, you
have to pay for it and I'm a tight git.

Looked into it. Not going to happen in the foreseeable future.

It *might* be possible but it's going to take time and lots of trial and
error.

Tis unfortunately true.

My mother got herself a lappy. Principally to stalk me.

She thinks Teh Internet is broken down into three parts

1. Facebook
2. Google
3. Here there be monsters

The rest is tweeny nonsense like Snapchat and Instagram which is
electronic self-abuse, basically.
