Earthlink and This newsgroup

I Use earthlink, and i've been happy so far, but suddenly I haven't
been getting new headers... If anybody can read this, especially
people on earthlink, can they send me an email to my listed address
(it's spelled out in the reply header) (and if you would, reply to
this message saying you replied via email so I don't get 5000
messages)

Thanks a ton, and sorry for the test post. I enjoy the discussion here
immensely, and am a hopeful anchient coin collector (my grandfather
has an extensive collection of greek and roman, and earlier, coins,
and has sparked my interest, but I have very little money.) As well
as a penny collector (finding wheatheads in rolls from the bank
mostly.)

Sorry my de-lurking post is an error one, and again, I love the
group...

A little paranoid there Gartogg? ;o)
Went a little overboard on munging your return address.

Here are the highlights of an e-mail you should have gotten from
EarthLink recently.

Dear EarthLink Newsgroup User,

First, you will need to change your newsgroup server name to either:

I didn't get that email, hmm. But I only use earthlink's server for the binary groups.

Maybe I got it because I recently complained about their crappy retention
(less than 5 days for this group). When I logged on to the new server it
had posts going back several months.

I just changed my binary newsreader over and it does seem to be much faster.
Before Earthlink and Mindspring merged, Mindspring had the best news server
of any of the large ISPs, but it went downhill after the merge. Let's hope the improvement
stays this way, or I'll find another ISP again.

It is a nice change after watching the service slowly degrade since the
merger. I used to have Earthlink. Switched to Mindspring when Earthlink's
service suddenly got very bad and kept getting worse over a 3 month period.
