OT comp.soft-sys.stat.spss and other news groups

[Art Kendall]

When Verizon dropped newsgroups I started using eternal-September.
Today Thunderbird 8.0 kept asking for a password.  I removed the
eternal-September account.
Eternal September does not come up with all the groups such as sci.sat.*
or comp.soft-sys.stat.spss

I know some of the people on this list are also on newsgroups.  How are
people accessing usenet?
Have other who use both usenet and this group had problems lately?

Hi Art.  I did use Google Groups for quite a while, but was not all that happy with it after the "upgrade".  (The killfile script I was using stopped working, for example.)  So I've gone back to using Thunderbird and the news server from www.newsguy.com.  It's not free, but the cheapest package (which is all you need if you're not downloading binaries) is pretty inexpensive.

Cheers,
Bruce

Thanks, Bruce, Viann, and David.

It turns out that eternal-september's server had crashed ant they are still up and Free.  I just set up the account in Thunderbird.
