Hi Andrew,

I think we've bumped into each other from time to time over the
years.  In case I've never said so, I also appreciate your
thoughful contributions to the community.  Thank you!

I started on Usenet in the early 90s via a shell account on a
VMS/DEC system that soon after morphed to a unix platform.  I
think I started using slrn soon after, so it's probably been close
to 30 years.

I'm sure you're aware of other Usenet options, but I keep access
via various shell accounts.  Panix has one for a fair price, and
the newsfeed is included.  Nyx has a free option, and I think
they're still alive and kicking.
