Matt, Jonas,
I got bit by this and hadn't been getting news since about late
February. By dumb luck I checked the groups today and found your
postings.
I'm sure other people are having trouble.
Is there any advantage to using secnews versus news?
(is there anyplace that discusses the difference?)
Is there an advantage to news via news.mozilla.org versus
secnews.netscape.com?
Thanks
