Gave up on my ISP last year, maybe 1/5 of posts show up there, therest are lost.Google Groups is OK but the delay is a drag.Signed up for Teranews' almost-free service (one-time $4 charge) butit is unusably slow half the time and today the entire site is down.Before I pop for the $52 for a year at Supernews, figure I'd ask againwhat works for folks who don't use their ISP.Bob

I guess I'll wait until then. As we all know, x.0 versions tend to be buggy/flavorless, anyway. ;) (I've had only 2 crashes with Agent in 9 years, though.)

I kill messages as they're read or compact upon closing Agent for the day. With only a few thousand "kept" messages in half a dozen groups, it works pretty snappily for me.

If we live that long. Will it have metal bending routines included by then? CNC newsgroups?
