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).

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.

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 ?

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 ?

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

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

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.

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.

People here are free to post about subjects related to stamps.
Accessing this NG is a relevant subject, as already stated, being a
premise to the participation in its activity.

Courtesy shouldn't be a problem, but a habit. I don't know if you have
already asked youself why so many people have problems with you on the
French philatelic NG. Eventually read the answers that you have got in
this thread and perhaps you will get some clues.

Yes, you can speak about cats in this NG, if you relate them to
stamps. I can remember that a few years ago we had here a very
touching discussion about our dogs. If I still remember well, the
discussion was started by my page:

http://www.values.ch/Countries/Sweden/Dogs/dogs.htm

Therefore try to bring something interesting into this NG, and you
will find participants who will be interested to discuss different
aspects of the subject with you. This is actually the way for
everybody to make this NG more interesting, to attract more people and
to increase her/his chances for getting "wise" answers.

Is the functioning of a news server related to stamps ?

And the weather in some country too ?

Something interesting in this NG must be philatelic.
