Elsewhere you mention you will block UK visitors to circumvent
kowtowing to the UK Online Safety Act requirements and dangers
thereof. 

 
I haven't understood why the block.  Could you clarify?

See Colin's thread over in the eternal-september.support newsgroup
titled "Newsgroups and the UK Online Safety Act".

 
The support group is 24hoursupport.helpdesk. 

 
No, the newsgroup with Colin's discussion on his block is in the
specified newsgroup: eternal-september.support.  I haven't wasted time
with the 24hoursupport.helpdesk for many years.
 
I don't know if Colin bothers to visit 24hoursupport.helpdesk.  I did
many years ago, but it became so polluted with unwanteds and
uber-boobs that I left.  If it died, well, I considered it a garbage
newsgroup long ago.  Way too many rotten apples in the barrel to waste
trying to find unspoiled ones. 
 
I just took a look, and saw very few articles (that survived my
filters), and most were very old.  The article counts (before
filtering) were very low:
 
     8 at Eternal-September
   253 at Individual (my primary server)
  1253 at Paganini
    86 at Solani
 
That is also before my age-out rules since I purge articles older than
120 days.  It is not my intention to operate an archive, and
importance, to me, dies with age.  Looks like 24hoursupport.helpdesk
died from attrition.
 
More likely you'll find Colin posting in alt.free.newsservers, and
over in the ES support newsgroup since he peers from ES and converses
with Ray, the ES admin.  He said he also peers from BlueWorld and
archive.org, the latter of which I didn't know archived anything
Usenet.

24hoursupport.helpdesk was pretty good until the assholes from AUK decided
to turn it into a shithole.
