So, let's summarize a bit.
1) Yes, it's hard to get newsfeed in Europe, and awfully expensive.
So that flame about German student was unnecessary.
2) It looks like some SysOps can arrange feeding those in Europe who will
ask - and it can help at least to cut down the expenses twice. Not bad.
3) It's nice that there are not only "flammable" guys around, but a lot of
ready-to-help ones (at least one message proposed real help - thanks!).
Well, that's it. Actually I wrote this note just to test MY access to the
network - so you may try to flame ME (if you didn't spend all the piper
on that poor kid). I will post every flame I receive (with my comments -
as neat as the input). But for good people - I don't need an answer. Yes,
I'm a novice (but not in all the fields though).
Sorry, if I'll not get something *dirty* - it's my last non-source posting here.Otherwise - ...
