Some ngs are more usful than others but where it works it's still the
best way to throw a question at a large audience in the hope of a
clueful reply or discussion.

So you're all right, Jack.  FYI, the news server was reinstated
recently.  If F2S ever notified their customers of anything, you'd know
that.

I'm happy with the connection but since F2S was being plugged (and by
someone who hasn't used the service) I thought it fair to add some
context.
