Interesting responses to my vent/"whine". I don't think I'm a "binary junkie", as my 25+ subscribed newsgroups are text-only and mostly IT-related, and am merely expressing my dissatisfaction at the constant stalls, "too many connections" errors, and general recent slowness of browsing newsgroups. Hal, you may be right about some of the complainers, but in my mind that doesn't excuse poor service.
