Well, Marty's ours and we're keeping him. "How you doing Marty?" :-)

Another "shout out" goes to Marco Leon. I never get to see your posts
anymore unless someone quotes you, or I whip over into Google Groups and
find you there. It's that Supernews? Superfeed? problem. I'm missing
someone else, too - can't remember who at the moment.

Supernews. They are blocking Marco's news service.

I have been pursuing this through my own ISP, and have gotten basically the
same brick wall Peter got, just from the other side. My ISP has attempted
to get a comment from Supernews about the issue, and Supernews keeps
stonewalling them. The abuse department doesn't return email or phone
calls, and the technical department hides behind "we can't comment due to
privacy concerns" crap.

Personally, I think it's a load of crap, and I'm disgusted with my own ISP
for putting up with the load of crap rather than switching news providers.
But I also suspect that there's some validity to whatever reason it is that
Newsfeeds is being blocked, based on some of what I've read about them on
the news service review web sites.

I'm disappointed that there are some people whose posts I can't see, but not
so much that I'm motivated to jostle my existing Internet service. I don't
see hordes of other people dropping Supernews, so I guess for now I'll
console myself with "no one else is doing it".
