    Tee hee, it worked. Welcome!

    I personally use https://www.eternal-september.org for Usenet access,
    and thunderbird as my reader.

    No idea what happened to the first message, I just signed up with eternal- september so glad to hear it is what you use. I'll try thunderbird and see
    how I get on.

    The new way is the old way, using a usenet news reader built into an
    email client (Thunderbird?) or some dedicated client.

    www.eternal-september.org can provide you with a free account to access
    usenet groups.

    Welcome back to the 90's, where technology was more friendly.
    :D

    Brilliant stuff, it worked. Well done!

    I'll change https://csscgc.org to point to the new compo on January 1st.

    FWIW I use Eternal September too...seems to be the best way of getting
    my Usenet fix nowadays.
