[OT] I changed news servers
[OT] I changed news servers
One thing this means is that I might have missed some of your valued
posts because I was not willing to pull up all 38 million or so posts
that are on the giganews server. I don't think Emacs can handle that
many headers anyway.

so check out google news groups for messages covering the days you think you may
have missed.

I pulled 1000 headers. Hopefully Gnus uses the highest article
numbers. I did check Google. I'm not a fan of the interface. I
think I got what I missed. If not, I don't think the earth will
shatter. Gravity holds it together pretty well.
