It seems ok?

Please let me know in email (I spent a day or so away from emails, sorry).

Google isn't archiving properly either. And I might add it's rather
inefficient to get around (unlike how it used to be.) You used to be
able to click onto talk.origin easily but now you have to type in the
"view profile" then click on talk.origin. It's an unfriendly system.

I use it in emergencies or to check propagation. But yeah, the changes
they've made over time really slowly crippled it, haven't they. :P

I wish I had a suggestion for a reliable free alternative, but I don't
know any - I'm obviously in an unique position, since I have a unix box
with my own newsfeed.

If anyone has any suggestions?

is 40tude Dialog, available from
