Unless you arrange one or more feeds. That's how it works. It's a peer to peer system. I run my own Leafnode server for my wife and I. I currently purchase a feed from Newsguy. I've been doing this for decades. I used to be ihnp4!stolaf!bungia!foundln. If I had a static IP and lots of bandwidth I could set up a public server. That's irrelevant to the original posting, though. It's quite feasible to set up an island server with one or a few special-purpose newsgroups. It will do everything a Web forum does but better. -- John Hasler [email protected] Elmwood, WI USA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
