Now that the fire's out and you can post, let me add:

A better choice, in my opinion is news.motzarella.org. I do a lot of
Usenet, and I've seen evidence that aioe is kind of up-and-down. Also,
some servers block it; I don't know if it's spammy or kooky, but
remember, it *is* a no-registration-no-authorization server, so make of
that what you will. Motzarella requires reg/auth (FREE), but now that
you're back on Usenet you can wait a few hours or a day for that.
Summary: suggest you get motzarella.org going and when it's set up move
there.

Glad to see you back; glad I could be of assistance.
