Is it fixed? OT

Guys,



My ISP has had the news group totally screwed up for me since early last spring. I was told by a fellow TDS sufferer (our ISP) that the problem may have been resolved.



Would some of you fine folks tell me if you are reading this post? Lack of response will indicate I'm still spitting in the wind.



Can't help but think you guys have missed my comments! :-) (Or not!)



Harold


Thanks, Steve. Finally! :-)

Harold

Nope. Can't see a thing. Too bad about you spitting in the wind.

Sounds like TDS sucks.

Welcome back, Harold!

Just

We were told that you and Susan had to leave the country for someplace in the Caribbean that didn't have extradition rights. You were last seen on a beach sipping something out of a coconut with a little umbrella sticking out.

It got here in fine shape. Gerry :-)} London, Canada

Reading you 5 by 9, Harold.

Hey Harold,

Works OK here.

Welcome back to RCM, just in time for Quadrennial 10 metal content to

200+ politicals cycle.

The neo-c>Guys,

Came through fine on mine. Welcome back.

(Please vote Republican)

Heh! Hard to argue with that, Brian!

Damn, you guys (all of you) sure make a guy feel welcome. Thanks! I've missed giving my often misguided opinion!

Must get back to Susan and my coconut. :-) I'll be looking for something absurd on which to comment.

Harold

Thanks, Wes.

Harold

Harold? Who is this Harold?

Harold sez: " I'll be looking for something absurd on which to comment."

Belay that! You already did.

Welcome back, Harold.

That shouldn't be hard to find with all the political content. :-) ...lew...

Well, wondered why you'd been so quiet, now I know. I gave up on my ISP and pay $7.95 (I think) a month to GigaNews. The only problem with their service is they retain text groups like this for FIVE years, so my reader has to sort through 400,000 messages to string the threads properly every time I open the news group. That takes about a minute. But, the reliability and availability of their service is light years ahead of the contract outfit that maintained the newsgroups for my ISP, Charter. It would go down for an entire weekend, or a group like this would suddenly drop out and be restored with only 4 messages left. Stuff like that would happen every couple weeks.

Glad to see you again!

You know I'll do my best to supply the absurd!

Yeah, but only when you aren't breaking brush making machines, or shopping for Lingerie. ;-)

He's that guy who knows everything about how-to-grind-a lathe-tool-from-scratch-that-will-actually-cut-something.

Welcome back Harold, your insight has been sorely missed.
