Dear Shirley
I will miss reading your posts very much. Having met Connie (many years
ago now), I feel a real connection with the 'gang' of those days.
I use Giga News now. I pay approximately £4 per month. I know there
are free ones, but for such a good service I don't mind paying such a
small amount. I am pretty sure my ISP uses Giga News, but I went
through a stage when I couldn't get connected via the ISP (though it is
OK at the moment!

I hope you get some satisfaction from someone. I got excited when
searching, because many highlighted the word 'free', but they were all
'free trials'!

Good luck; and if you have to finish, I hope your health stays within
reasonable bounds for you g

Pat on the green

Well dear friends it looks as if I shall be losing you.
My ISP have said they are dropping Usenet in 5 days time. I asked them
if they were dropping the amount I pay since I am losing part of the
service. Alas I did not get a reply.

My son is also with the same provider and is looking at other ways but
they have all been ones that we have to pay for. I am not happy with
that extra layout of cash.

So it will be bye for now. My Life has been enriched by "knowing" you all.
Hugs to all from
Shirley aka Madame Fabergé in the old days when Connie was around.
