Sad news.

It is. It's always been the best newsserver by a country mile. I've
reconnected to Eternal-September to check it's still there and working.
Mind you, if NIN stick to their "retirement" date, they may last longer
than me anyway.

Nobody teaches volcanoes to erupt, tsunamis to devastate, hurricanes to
swirl around, or a man how to choose a wife. Natural disasters just happen.

That was my thought too. :(
We should be grateful for the excellent service over the years and the extremely civil way they've decided to close.

Can't disagree with that Bri,
At least it will be active for another couple of years and it won't cost us anything.
Hope you are keeping well.
