Tucows is migrating from the use of mailing lists to a web/NNTP-based

happen and how to switch from using the mailing lists to using our
discussion forums.
 

Great.  I love NNTP (although I'd still like to see an email gateway -- 
NNTP and forum posts can be deleted, an email message cannot.  The fact 
that an email version of the list exists is enough to sell me on the 
fact that things aren't being pruned after the fact)

However, unless 1969 was a busy year for OpenSRS, and the following 
years have been completely stagnant, the NNTP server is broken, it's not 
offering valid dates in the overviews or in the header (Apologies for 
the unfortunate wrapping of the following, but it should be semi-readable)

Any chance that the dates could get added?  Hopefully retroactively, but 
I realize that might not be feasible if the information isn't actually 
stored.

One other thing I noticed -- I changed my password on the web, but I'm 
still using my old password on the NNTP -- Is there a lag?

Failure is not an option. It's bundled with your software.
