The only issue I have with ET is it doesn't always connect to
Thunderbird and once in a while this connection means I can't read a
message for a while. Seems to sort itself out after a bit though!

I'd been using Supernews for decades but they have become erratic,
sometimes dropping my insightful and amusing posts. We can't allow
that!
I use the Agent newsreader, which works pretty well.

My provider Frugal Usenet seems to be having a similar issue with
dropped posts. Test, test
I am using news@individual.de. No drop-outs or anything but no binaries.
Ok, not free but only 10 Euros a year and they let me pay for several
years at a time to reduce the hassle.

Ray Banana (who runs e-s) is doing a lot of work on the servers since
the message "archive" was lost a couple of months ago. He is slowly >repopulating them, and it means there can be an odd break in service now

You can always ask for your money back...

Binaries! You mean people watch movies and TV shows when they could be designing electronics?
Pretty messed up if you ask me.

No, no, maybe you are too young for this :-)
In the days of the Neanderthals we used to share schematics,
oscilloscope plots, prototype photographs and stuff on the newsgroup
a.b.s.e. which supports binaries. Think of it as attached files.
Ok, yes, maybe there has been the occasional Dilbert cartoon as well ...
