Blocknews moved some/all of the groups to a new server, and assigned new
article numbers to all the posts in all the groups they moved.  This
messed with the continuity of the article numbers I captured in my
database.  I fixed that, but they should've kept the old numbers.

And the new server seems very slow - whereas I used to submit a post and
it was available 2-3 seconds later, now I won't get it from the server
for 10 minutes sometimes.

It's a letdown after years of stellar blocknews service.

I was able to use BlockNews in Thunderbird, but not Agent.  Couldn't
get it to succeed in pulling headers.  Went back to Eternal September.

Amendment XIV
Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the
United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.
