...and counting.

To all the friends I've made (and even to some I've unmade) in these forums,
Goodbye, Good Luck - and see you on the flipside!

I am now using the NNTP Bridge (both of them!) to access the Answers and MS
forums. It's buggy, but it's still better than 'naked' access in terms of
posts-per-hour dealt with.

Unfortunately MS has still not responded to requests for legacy support in
those forums, so we may not be meeting in there. I'm not going to use a free
nntp server, because of access problems at my end, so effectively, when MS
closes the last NNTP group, that'll be me off UseNet for good. (and
currently, I'm only subscribed to the ME groups)

Au Revoir, Bon Chance
Auf Wiedersehen, Herzlichen Grussen
Ciao

- but most of all....

HAVE FUN!

Sad to see you go, Noel, but for all the right reasons.
By good chance we'll meet 'on the flipside'.
Auf Wiedersehen, Herzliche Gruesse
and
Cheers,

Harry.

I would imagine that this one will be among the first to go because of the
small amount of posts it gets these days, don't worry though Noel I can
still get you <eg>
