[G4] Roadrunner Newsgroups & MT Newswatcher

[Thomas J. Fobia]

Ron and all--
My problem with MT NewsWatcher was eventually solved by Road Runner. 
They were having a problem at their end and after my 5th call to them I 
was told they were working on it and it would be a few hours before the 
server was repaired. Meanwhile I gave "Supernews.com" a try and found it 
to be a reliable backup option (also with more retention and less 
restrictions).  I may keep it after my "4 week trial period"!

Thanks
Tom
