Jeez that's nothin'! :)

I've got hundreds of protected articles (what Microplanet Gravity calls
'em) on this server.

So changing to a new, I'll have to "leave those behind" - and start
afresh.

'course... Microsoft might migrate all the old usenet postings to their
web-based service. Naaa, don't think so :(

(A lot of good info (ok, and junk) left behind).

End of the day, I'll have to keep this server going for sometime, even
if I don't use it to actually connect - but just so I can still use the
resource (mainly search all the articles I've kept ('protected')).
