New local newsgroup for Orpheus subscribers

[Paul Vigay]

Apologies for cross-posting, but I want to let as many newsgroup
subscribers as possible know.

I've just created a new newsgroup for discussing generic support issues
(ie. anything not really platform specific, such as dodgy connections, spam
and other stuff).

It's "orpheus.support" (nice and easy to remember) and should be available
by the time you read this.

And, finally, I'm here! (Yes, this is in the nature of being a test)

..but where, you will ask yourself, is 'here'..?

Did you know, btw, that even the old monitored children's
group, argonet.cfc, is now in circulation again, not that
anyone used it in the first place, so busy the youngsters
were being encouraged to use the that old .mil group haunted
as it was by unknown characters...

..oh ..and welcome to 'here' anyway, Chika.. ;'))

Wherever I happen to be at the time! Actually, in this case, it just
happened to indicate that all my settings were sorted and I was now
connected via Orpheus rather than Pipex. OK, it took two months, thanks to
Piscali (or maybe Tipex) incompetance, but it's done with now.

I understand from Paul that there was a problem with my MAC code too.

From what I saw on the Pipex support group that was quite common.

Yup. I've submitted a formal complaint but if their complaint procedure is
anything like their migration procedure, they'll probably lose it!

I presume you mean with Orpheus as this is in argonet.acorn.misc

Chika is not, so far as I'm aware, an Orpheus subscriber.

He will probably be unable to get into the private
Orpheus group that's only available to and intended
for Paul's Orpheus customers.

However, regardless of his IP, he is able to get into
the argonet.*.* ngs which, as part of the Worldwide
Usenet Newsgroups, are promulgated by a still increasing
number of main news-servers around the world.

Whether or not it's worth subscribing to Orpheus just
to get one or two private groups, cf the cacaphony of
the 100,000's+ newsgroups of Usenet is probably moot!

Meanwhile ..as you know and do yourself ..many of us,
including Paul and Orpheus, also retain seats at this
table... ;'))

Just a thought.. :))

I thought he /was/ coming across and assumed that his comment meant that
he now was, especially in view of the thread title.

That's cos I didn't get his reply to my welcome,
Stuart, (it's only just arrived now), so was
assuming he was still connected elsewhere..!

He must be getting quite rich.. ;))

I remember when he were nowt but a raggy-arsed
tiddler, floggin' jam jars in exchange for the
outdated meat pudding handouts at the market..

..ah ..were a real tuff time, in them days.. ;'))

You presume correctly.
