Yes, I am planning to keep my server open indefinitely.
At least, while the machine, the connection and SysAdmin
continue to enjoy reasonably good health.

In fact, if anyone noticed *some* periods of unavailablility
Friday through Tuesday, that was a PacHell redback problem! 
Fingers crossed, it's fixed now having being solid since very
early this morning.

For anyone that may have missed it, I'll attach a copy
of the original announcement and the "rules".

The server is malch.malch.com:119.

It currently carries three groups:

* best.bizarre
* best.general
* best.test

It does not accept any incoming newsfeeds. Postings to this server
are not propogated to any other server.

The rules are:

* No spam
* No illegal or copyright material
* No binaries or attachments
* No vcards or HTML postings ;-)

The merely offensive is quite acceptable; the operator is a free
speech advocate. But he doesn't need any law suits, criminal
investigations etc.

The machine is available pretty much 24/7 with very occassional
downtime for hardware/software maintenance. However, the DSL 
network connection may be saturated at times.

Access is currently wide-open. If spammers, script kiddies or 
others cause problems, I'll consider adding some security.

Needless to say, I reserve the right to block any abuser at
my sole discretion and even to discontinue the service 
completely. And disclaim all responsibility for anything.
