And ISPs, which is the reason for ②. The “ncnntp” server mentioned in
the below script is not usable much any more either. Also, hold times
on whatever Usenet servers I saw in the last five years or so are way
too low.

ich sie geschrieben habe  <Natureshadow> Hast du sie geschrieben oder geforkt?
<mirabilos> geschrieben, from scratch  <Natureshadow> Ach, deshalb finde ich
auch so selten Bugs dadrin. Irgendwie hast du Recht.
