From: ColClewtz on 3 Aug 2010 06:13 X-No-Archive: Regulars here will know me as Andy Clews from the University of Sussex. After 25+ years, the plug has been pulled on the JANET Usenet service, and I am now forced to use an alternative (Google groups, and/or possibly the one provided by my ISP), so you won't see any more postings from me with my Sussex address (the one that mentions dentures).

Same problem for me at Brunel; I'm test-driving aioe.org but it's losing too many posts for my liking. Hope they don't pull your job as well, like they did to me the same day! -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

Yeah, I'll probably sign up later this week once I've finished tweaking my CV. Contemplating the problems of losing my main mail address soon, too. -- Ivan Reid, School of Engineering & Design, _____________ CMS Collaboration, Brunel University.

Certainly works for me, although Ivan earlier pointed out one missing post, which I didn't see either. |
