That's not a bad thing in itself, | but it is just one extra step. | Another popular one is news.aioe.org. Apparently there's no need to register there. I think my own ISP carries these groups, too. But since I needed to make some kind of switch I decided on eternal- steptember. They seem to have a history. I'd like to not have to go changing again later. Generally I never sign up for anything, but their registration seems harmless and reasonable. It's actually more private than using MS or my own server because the posting host field in the header is encrypted. |
