Broadband went down this morning...

When it came back on, newsreader messed up. Said ... wait for it...
over 100000 unread posts. Obviously it was having a senior moment. So
I've deleted everything and starting from scratch in newsgroup terms.

If I've missed any purrs required - please feel free to take from the
copious quantities produced on a daily basis in Chateau Unfit Family

The reason for that happening is, BT no longer host Usenet on their own
servers, they switched to Giganews early Wednesday morning. Once things have
settled down, this should be a good thing, they reatain text posts for over
two years and binaries for nearly two months. You will also notice a lot
more groups than you had before, though I doubt there'll be any more usefull
ones.
