A bit of reality: some kind soul is gatewaying m.s.* posts to
the larger Usenet. Great idea, great service but unfortunately
limited by Mozilla's shortsightedness that blocks posts/replies
from being fed into their Usenet cocoon. Allowing such backfeed
would have been a great service, thanks in particular to all the
kind souls voluntarily helping/advising people here.
