Hi,
Any particular reason you didn't list Newshosting? I am using it and if it
is not the safest I'd appreciate a head's up. It downloads the groups that I
am interested in (and know about) and has good propagation.
In Dr. Johnson's famous dictionary, patriotism is defined as the
last resort of a scoundrel. With all due respect to the enlightened
lexicographer I submit that, in view of the recent election, it is the
first.
