My pleasure!

Note, John, that my recommendation of aioe.org was because it was the
quickest way to get him a working connection because it requires no
registration. Once he was up, there, I steered him to
http://news.motzarella.org, which takes a bit longer becuase it
requires (free, noninvasive) registration, but which from what I've
read in various groups focused on Usenet itself and servers in
particular motzarella is more solid than aioe.
