Usually when Google Usenet Groups has a problem it's that posts from
outside of Google's Usenet service take a long time to appear. Now I
am seeing the opposite. The news server that I use from my ISP is
getting posts from everywhere but Google.
Anyone else seeing this?
Yes indeed. It's all missing from news.arcor.de. So I guess Google is
the culprit, as usual.
Dear Google Groups users: that means currently us who don't usually go
there (except for search purposes) can't read anything you're posting.
Please consider posting from somewhere else.
Although I guess I'm behind the times in still thinking of Google as
nothing more than a slightly glorified search engine...
I know that this has been discussed before, perhaps its time to discuss
again.
What are the alternatives? What are others using? If using an NNTP
server, what client on what OS? If web-based, URL. Thanks.
