Ooh:( After looking into that, I'm guessing both 40tude and Microplanet Gravity are affected due to their last updates being 14+ years ago, but I don't see any way to be sure either way. I wonder if Usenet servers will be affected considering their age? I assume at least pay ones would want to fix the problems. Not sure about the free ones. -- -Justisaur ø-ø (\_/)\ `-'\ `--.___, ¶¬'\( ,_.-' \\ ^'
