Mercilessly ripped from another group and may be a ginge but there you

For personal users, it will become news.individual.net

Eh? Given that they're the only people who dish out passwords, I'm sure
their sysadmins are more than capable of balancing demand and supply to
ensure a viable news service.

I'm not convinced it'll work, there's still too much of a disjoin.

So what's the problem with that? I suppose you are inherently selfish
and get all smug about the fact you know something someone else doesn't.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for a private joke but this is for the
benefit of everyone you *utter twat*.

I've used this server for years with no problems what so ever. It was
because of my ISP's crappy news feed that got me onto it in the first
place :)

OK, I see your point but I doubt if a few posters / lurkers will make a
whole lot of difference. Like your car analogy lots of people have cars
in London and it's gridlock whereas further afield the traffic flows
with a lot more ease.

>But I'm with simon - let them the newsserver team decide.

I'm sure they know what they're doing :)

I have a bit of trouble keeping a good thing to myself.

<thinks>

Better give the missus a good service..

Maybe. But it doesn't devalue my inertia-repositioning portfolio.

I did forget that but took it for granted that traffic flow wouldn't be
a problem. Actually, on second thought, I never even considered it.
