 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.

 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.

 (then what would be the point?)

 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?)
