I will check up on that one.

The difference is the Filter... I don't think that anyone else out there is
working on a spam filtration system like ours.
Ross... I am attracting the Newsgroup Denizens via my server... like
you I offer fidonet via NNTP as well. I am drawing a few newsgroup
people who are now starting to subscribe to the fido. echos here. I
have yet to see any posts... but they are downloading and reading
the fidonet messages.
We are getting some exposure here... and I do hope that by making the
newsgroups more accessible... we will ultimately start to have a
weighted presence in both nets.
BTW... You have a very nice and responsive system.
RC> This is why many, including myself, offer up Fidonet Echoes via NNTP.
I have a sinking feeling you will start to have some of the newsgroup people
visiting you as well if things work (hopefully) as planned.
