So sad. He helped me personally by letting me use his news server for 
posting to comp.lang.ada rather than having to pay some substantial amount 
to get this one feed.

In related news, I presume that I will be disappearing from here soon as I 
don't have a viable alternative way to access the newsfeed. I don't want to 
use Google Groups as it tends (like all websites) to trash code (making 
messages hard to read and write), and because I'd have to disable most of 
the anti-tracking programs on my browser to use it.

It's been fun and educational.   - Randy.
