I read the mailing lists from many different locations. I don't |
| 15 |
keep complete Usenet and mailing-list archives at all machines |
| 16 |
and locations. It doesn't really matter to me where the server |
| 17 |
is -- if I've no network access, I can't read Usenet or mailing |
| 18 |
lists. But, it's just not an issue. |

I guess I just have no interest in keeping archives of 50 |
| 25 |
newsgroups/mailing-lists on a handful of different machines. |
| 26 |
Any "servers" I set up would be a lot less reliable and |
| 27 |
accessible than those at either Gmane or my Usenet provider. |
