I wasn't saying that publicly open ones don't exist. They *do* get swamped,
however. We don't have the bandwidth for this kind of activity. I was
getting hundreds of attempted connections per hour on my machine, and I
didn't even advertise it. Someone found it somehow (probably from news
headers) and made their knowledge public. Trust me, if you think Grex is
slow now, you have no idea what it'll be like if we have public news.

Was wondering if it might be practical to have a Usenet newsserver
that only carries posts from Cyberspace members and responses to
these posts.
That wouldn't eat up too many resources.
For other Usenet stuff other services are adequate,but posting and
keeping up the thread is a bit more of a problem.

<robh wonders how a Grex-only Usenet would be any different from
using PicoSpan>

Robh,
Were you referring to my post about having only posts from GREX on
the newsserver?
I meant that the newsserver would send the messages that are posted
to all Usenet servers everywhere.

Re:#60
I would like to modify my suggestion about a limited Usenet server
here.
I think it would be sufficient to have post only capabilities and not
even be able to get all responses to the thread, just in case that is
too difficult to do.

re:#66
I need a way to be able to post messages to Usenet using my
Cyberspace email account.
I don't like to post from the webbased Usenet services, because I
don't know how to cut and paste text from elsewhere,especially
from text that I have in a Unix shell email account.

(oh, is that all? I seem to remember an email-to-Usenet gateway
existing. might that help you, if I could find it?)

Re:#68
I tried one mail-to-news server and didn't have good results with it.
(My post went to some places, one of which sent me an autoresponder
message.But when I checked on Deja and my local Usenet service,
there was no sign of my post.)
Maybe it is a feasible option,but I haven't found a reliable
mail-to-news server so far.

(question for staff: am I correct to assume that one could set up Pine to
access an nntp server if one had the appropriate internet access to
connect to said server?)
