I'm convinced that the whole world CAN'T be taking a holiday from
newsgroups this weekend and that my otherwise excellent ISP has gone
crazy with its broom and wildly disposed of all the articles (that were
only there briefly, as it was) to make room for more. But something has
gone awry and what the ISP made room for is a nice big empty space.

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

"otherwise excellent"??? I think it is your brain that has taken a
holiday! What we have seen of your ISP so far has been everything but
"excellent"... :D:D:D

That's only on the net! In real life I'm right now wrapped up in wolly
jumper and ski jacket and still feel a bit cold...  :D

(actually, I do have some difficulty navigating through my room due to
garbage that is stacked all over the floor. Mainly bottles that I just
haven't got round to taking back to the shop yet and a big bag full of
old paper... Well, it's not all garbage, I do have too much furniture...
(and yes, I am very well aware of that my mother is "on the net" and may
read this))

Well I'm glad to see that Veronica has something in her closet
because from her pictures of herself, she doesn't have much
use for clothes! ;)

in the student hostel I used to live in! ;)

Sorry to hear about your problems. By the time I read this NG (I'm in
UK), any new topics usually have several replies included. By the time I
get a reply in, the topic is usually either dead or dying.
