   Obviously I expressed myself unclearly. This is not a technical issue,   
   which is reasonably simple, but a sociological one, i.e. what I wish to   
   commit my computers to. For me this is a question of the level of   
   involvement. Automated scripts sending material to the community are   
   best suited to an outside server, not to my personal computer, however   
   trivial and convenient technically. I'll keep my finger manually on the   
   button. (Besides, the news servers are sporadic, so maybe it is not so   
   trivial, after all.)   
      
   The point is becoming more and more moot, anyway, since mostly only the   
   knowledgeable regulars are left. They know what to find where in any   
   case. Furthermore, my own interests have changed. Since my retirement   
   two years ago this one certainly is not the only or the biggest thing   
   where I have or am going to downshift.   
      
       All the best, Timo
