More importantly, are there are usenet-to-mail gateways?
My first impression was that that was just a joke. Then I thought it might be a very good idea after all. Then I thought it surely wasn't a joke, but also wasn't a very good idea. Now I'm not sure. :)
I was thinking that Robert meant something like getting a usenet feed via mail. Speaking of which, are there any sort of "public", or "free" NNTP servers? Or even "cheep"? Even just read-only? I'm afraid of losing my full feed along with my account when I finish my masters. I don't want to go for a PhD just so I can keep browsing the alt groups. tw
