NOTICE concerning FAQ

[unknown]

[note: crossposted to 4 groups, no setting of newsgroup follow-up. Email
Reply-To: set to the email address noted in the body of this post]


Hi folks,

Now that Freeserve/Wanadoo have made the original freeserve.* groups
read-only for FS/Wdoo users and created a wanadoouk.* hierarchy instead,
there are a couple of problems maintaining the webspace FAQ.

I don't have access to the new wanadoouk.* groups on any of the news
servers I use (this is crossposted to them in the hope that one of the
peers, etc., has the groups).

I am happy to continue to maintain the FAQ and update with new info.
However, as I cannot read the new groups at the moment, I will be
reliant on email for updates. I have set up a specific email address

fswebspace <at> operations.force9.net

for emailed info to be incorporated. The FAQ pages will be updated soon
with that email address and an administrative bite.


The FAQ remains at
<URL:http://www.pedt.demon.co.uk/faq/index.htm> (HTML version)
<URL:http://www.pedt.demon.co.uk/faq/fhwfaq.txt> (text version)


If anyone has info on, preferably free as I have paid accounts on too
many news servers already, news servers that carry wanadoouk.* then I
would appreciate it.

Also, if anyone wants to take over the FAQ and continue to maintain it
as a *neutral* source of information then I would happily pass it over.

Havent subscribed or used any and only had a quick look to see if they
where available .

Theres about 20 of them or summit .

Havent had much email with the bloke but he seems decent enough if you
want try a email requesting free access only to be used as intended &
that you dont intend to download any binaries etc etc .

Unfortunately, no. Thanks for the thought though.

Looks like I might get them soon from my usual server.

I should hope so , If I had a pay news server that refused to add
newsgroups I wanted I would be offski without a 2nd thought for one that
did unless I had a VERY good reason not too .

Newsreader is on instant auto add and very useful at times .

Neither my usual news server nor the main subsidiary one are the pay
ones...

Newsreader is on instant auto add and very useful at times .

But a distinct disadvantage when it, like others, adds newsgroups just
because they appear in a twit's Newsgroups: line - a quick look gives
uk.net.web, uk.local.glagow, microsoft.public.uk.rec.gardening and
demon.waah for example.

Why a distinct disadvantage ? , Do you ever see or look at all the other
50,000 newsgroups your usual news server has .

Whats the worst that can happen when you get new groups - you subscribe
to a newsgroup that nobody but the auto add servers have .
