That's great and my congratulation. Now why not tell me which software
you recommend for DOS which is as unfailingly reliable as the KA9Q suite
and operates across mutiple news servers? That last point is what makes
NEWEWS so valuable to me.
I was sorry to read about your own problems with Free Agent and missing
articles and I hope that you manage to solve this and get a reliable feed.
Please forgive me if my refusal to join you in mutual rudeness appears as
a sign of weakness. There may be some who consider your retreat to
personal abuse as simply an attempt to duck the issue and to change the
subject, but it would be rude of me to suggest it :-)
