(...) That's truly bizarre. Even if it were a server-side issue, no server-side fault or even a client application fault should cause your Internet connection to drop carrier. You've got something very strange going on in your system. What happens (...) (24 years ago, 31-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
