Which benefits Demon customers (or at least, does when the list->newsgroup
lag is less than two weeks and the `.com' exploder which feeds the gateway
at Yggdrasil hasn't broken down, and Yggdrasil haven't been mysteriously
unsubscribed due to transient bouncing problems, and ...)

But it's scarcely a lot of help to anyone else in the UK.  Maybe (especially
as pubnews is down and has no ETA) Demon could look on a vger exploder as
being one of their `give things back to the Internet community' projects.
Besides, even if pubnews was working that's still no use to ac.uk people,
who can't get access to it.
