But in the last year, there has been a huge drop in noise, so Oracle, Solaris, and Storage groups have been very good without having to wade through the trash. I'd hate to lose it again.
I still have full access through both of my ISPs (one in the US, one in Belgium), so it doesn't look like a NATO action ;-) IIS may not be too far off. Besides being infested by worms/virii, it also has a tendency not to restart the newsgroup service after a crash...
