   Fred Williams to All   
   Possible Blocking of Newsgroups

           There's not a lot of activity here on , but I wanted to post   
   today because I had been following  and   
   found it to be an excellent source of news from around the world.   
           Then yesterday morning I started up my newsreader and found that when   
   I went for any articles from any group I got a "Permission Denied"   
   error.  I complained to my ISP and after a while I got a call back   
   telling me that the ISP was changing news servers.  This seemed   
   plausible, but I was told that the new news server would have several   
   groups missing.  In fact I was told this twice and I already   
   suspected what I would find.  Sure enough,   
    is no longer available on the new server.   
   I sent a request to have it added and was told that this is not   
   possible.  I have had no trouble in times past getting a new server   
   to add a group.  I wrote back explaining this and have yet to receive   
   an answer.   
           It's hard to tell, but it feels like stonewalling.  Has anyone else   
   experienced a similar situation, especially a restriction of whatever   
   type against ?
