As more of a newsreader user, incorrectly formatted FTX code on LUGNET has been troubling me lately. Non NNTP users might not realize, but FTX code formatted like the link below is a pain for NNTP users to just click on and be directed to you link (...)

I believe the recent "distributed denial of service attack" was SWEN. I was getting copies of that from all over the world to my lugnews address, and only to my lugnews address, until you moved ports. That shut off the incoming viri like a switch. I (...)
