it looks like earthlink gets they're feed from Giganews. THAT's the
problem.
Giganews bought Supernews and proceed to F* everything that was good
about Supernews.
I canceled my account, moved to individual.net and haven't looked back.

You're going to like this. Several of my newsgroups coming through
Earthlink
stopped their feeds late last month. Before that, I had a doubling
of some recent
posts in certain ngs. After talking to India several times, where
the focus was on selling me
"tune-up software irrelevant to the problem, I protested both to
the sales arm
of the company and made a call to corporate HQ, where the girl
kept asking
about "Newsnet" and "use groups".
Not one single admission from them that they were the problem.
What an abysmal bungle.

Glad to hear that it wasn't just me. Overall I am pleased with earthlink but
once or twice a year I will go thru this type of thing. This is the first
time I had to reset all NG (delete) to get them all up again. Thanks for
sharing your experience as well.

Thanks Bob. I had to do a total reset here and everything is back up. Have
not got anything since 3/29/08.
It will take a while to catch up. :-)
