   When my ISP dropped their news servers, I switched to eternal-september   
   (like you) for text NGs, and have rarely had problems.  I use Teranews   
   for reading old NG posts (their retention is longer than e-s) but then   
   those posts are so old it would be pointless to reply to them.

   Which of course is expected to be the day of the big snowstorm, but I'll   
   be there.

   I'm not actually sure what the best term would be; I'd guess something   
   with "immunosuppressant" would be best.  ("With your immunosuppressants,   
   ....")  [Background for those who don't know: I had a kidney transplant   
   in 2009.  The antirejection (immunosuppresive) meds I'm on keep my body   
   from attacking what had originally been somebody else's kidney.   
   Unfortunately these also reduce the ability of my body from attacking   
   things I /really/ don't want, such as this infection, whatever illness   
   is going around, minor cuts, etc.  Anyone with questions is welcome to   
   ask me directly at the address in my sig here.]
