Newsgroup problem

Probably Charter. Yup. Just read the sig. They "upgraded" a couple
weeks back. The whole thing crashed (think it was Friday)

My last post I received was 3:31 PM EST Friday.

and must
have come back up some time this morning. It wasn't up at 4:00 AM.
Seems to be back up here at least for the time being.

Yep. Back up here, too. The amazing thing was that all the binaries groups
were still up. Also, the tecs I called at Charter did not even know that
there was anything wrong. They gave me an E-mail address for their news
service, but I have not heard back from them. Probably won't. They must
have been swamped from complaints.

Now I have a choice. My system thinks it's up-to-date even though it
is missing the last 3 days worth of posts.

I'm just going to forget about the missed posts. Too much hassle to sort
though them any other way. I think I'll live. :-)

They don't even carry 4 of
the primary groups I was following. (digital photography groups)

Too bad. have you called and bitched about it?


Used to be Deja-News or some such, but I think they became Google. I
think Google then dropped all but the search engine.

None I have tried came close to the convenience and clarity that OE
provides. I hope Charter can keep its act together.
