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.
