I did; the address is fake. Worked for me. From the URL http://news.bbs.geek.nz/ *Welcome to Agency News - a Usenet News system located in Dunedin, New Zealand.* *...* *Agency News is run as a not-for-profit hobby and offers free access to text-only Usenet News* *...* *Contact - newsmaster {at} news.bbs.geek.nz <http://news.bbs.geek.nz> to obtain a username / password.* I just sent a note to that email address.
