I think this falls into the "But I'm using ADSL to connect to the news
server, so can someone please tell me why the news server is broken ?" type
post.

Topics of this nature should really be moved to the ADSL Chat list, infact,
I have CC'd it there for everyones convenience. but please dont forge tto
remove the adsl@lists.unixathome.org address from the "To:" headers when
hitting "reply to all".

And before you ask why I also sent it to the DSL list - it was to hopefully
prevent follow ups to this thread by people not on the -chat list.
