UNI Berlin Newsserver?
 

Does anyone know what's happening at the UNI Berlin
Newsserver?? Is there a "knot" somewhere on the 'net?
I know that several posters here use it as newsreader.
I could read and post normally this morning, but for the
latest 12 hours they keep asking me for my valid password,
and yet they deni access?

According to an article in alt.free.newsservers you have to change to
news.individual.net

Mail to mefp49 is unlikely to be read. I can be contacted at xcf70 (same
ISP).

What kind of stamps are issued by « UNI Berlin Newsserver » ?

Can't you ask such a question in a group dedicated to usenet servers,
and not in a group dedicated to stamps collection ?

Thanks John. Just found the article. Strangely enough the
changes have not been announced to the subscribers. The
server mentioned doesn't seem to work ...

Thanks anyway. I will find other solutions.

Didier,

This is a relevant question, coming from a known participant in this
NG, one who has lost the access to her NG server (and implicitely to
this NG), and who is searching for a solution.

I doubt that it is polite to say (in other words): Don't bother us
with your non-philatelic problems and search for a solution elsewhere!
I wonder if the traditional "courtoisie" isn't gradually vanishing
somewhere in France...

BTW, I have exactly the same problem, and this thread helped me too.
In the meantime I have registered with Google Groups in order to post
this very comment.

Is there some people who is allowed to talk about everything, forgetting
the topic of the newsgroup ? Where is the list of them ?

Courtesy is not the problem. This group is not the better one to have a
wise answer. Do you ask for bread at your car seller ?

I have a question about my cats. Is this one the right group, too ?

One German newsserver has reorganised its accounts. If it is the one you
are using you need to change your news account to News.Individual.NET

There better not be a list! (conspriracy theory)

Some items, such as computer usage, are norm for newsgroups. This is
not the only newsgroup that has been asked for help by other
contributing members.

Sometimes, a clue as to how to get the newsgroup better / etc. will
allow that person to frequent the group more and contribute as well.

So, a little leniency may be needed? This is not to take either side.
This group deals with stamps, per the FAQ, but there have been a lot
of fringe questions asked that were in sync with the current topics
-or- labeled as OT.

I doubt that it is polite to say (in other words): Don't bother us
with your non-philatelic problems and search for a solution elsewhere!

Didier, then why the curt stance?

This group is not the better one to have a
wise answer. Do you ask for bread at your car seller ?

No, but the car salesman may ask on which side your bread is buttered.
:^) E-mail me for an answer on that one...

BTW, I have exactly the same problem, and this thread helped me too.

I have a question about my cats.

Yes? what is it?

Is this one the right group, too ?

May be, but not the definitive group to ask. A lot of cat owners are
here. :^)

Sometimes we talk about something that sways a little to the left or
the the right, depending on the day of the week, if we've had out
vitamins and if the crow flies south.

I remember being ignored, when asking for e-mail here for a week,
recently. Only 1 member replied, and I thanked him. My ISPs were
screwed up and I had an odd e-mail address, but that helped me a
little keep my rcsd "fix" going.

(By the way, hopefully this won't happen to ayone else here.)

Anyway, yes - sometimes knowing if the newsgroup is going and other
ways of getting there are relvenet to SOME members of this newsgroup.

Let's leave personalities at the door... there's too many trolls that
lurk here and prey on this type of stuff.

Terry, yes, this is the newsgroup that has reorganized.
I browsed a little around, and finally found my way through
this. I have asked to be signed up, and am awaiting my
new password tomorrow. All necessary information is
given here http://news.cis.dfn.de/ in both German and
English.
