it used to but i thikn the gating system has stopped, gotten
broken or otherwise just isn't doing the gating any more...
I had reports from a user that the feed on my bbs was dried up
while on other bbs's he visits there were extra posts... just
looking into that now.
FWIW: it used to come in here with the following tear and origin lines... these
from the last post seen from the apparently gateing system in july...

i've invalidated them for this posting... looks like something happened over at
1:2320/105... i'm not sure what's going on over there on mike's system... i haven't seen or heard from him in a few months...
yup... but then again, it was kinda boring with the crap posts
coming from the usenet side of the fence, too...
I'm 50/50, there are still some good newsgroups with interesting
content, but agree there's a lot with dross in them too.
agreed... it really is too bad that the alt.* groups became such a wasteland...
i mean they were kinda designed for such but then came the mess foisted by at least one person whereby you can't even remove a group created by accident because their system immediately recreates it... someone else's political carp,
ya know? [smh]
