Ah, fascinating, there must be an entire world of NNTP servers out there that I've never come across :-) My previous employer had an internal NNTP server running, which was a virtual gold mine of knowledge and insight. It was a largely unknown gold mine at that. Anyway, I know there are several locations where I can host a mailing list (google groups, yahoo etc), are there similar free services that offer free NNTP services? > For example, Microsoft has a private NNTP server for technical support. Ah, that's very useful to know. /M
