G'day

I've been off the air for a few weeks and was using AIOE as a free news-
server. On coming back on line there weren't any messages in a few of my
newsgroups - including this one.

Any reason....there is usually one or two a day.

If there is a problem with my free news server can anyone suggest a
replacement

I use Google Groups, personally:

http://groups.google.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai

It makes available an RSS feed, which I use to follow the group in
Google Reader.

**AT&T dumped their NGs, so I found this one:

http://www.eternal-september.org/

Except for a glitch a week ago, it's been perfect for months now.
Also, they do a good job of dumping a lot of the spam before it hits
your newsreader.

And I have a hunch that people just got busy in the days before
Thanksgiving. I've noticed that in years past as well. But otherwise
everything seems okay.
