A comment in a recent posting reminded me of the difficulty most of us have in seeing all messages. Some time ago, I abandoned my server supplied news feed for a commercial one. As far as I can tell, I now see all messages posted to the news groups that I read. A list of such services may be found at http://dir.yahoo.com/Business_and_Economy/Business_to_Business/Communications_and_Networking/Internet_and_World_Wide_Web/Usenet_Servers/Commercial/ I chose news-service.com. -- Bob Wheeler --- (Reply to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]) ECHIP, Inc. ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list and remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
