At the current rate of progress with UF, I will probably sign up to do the
same; I keep thinking that UF will pick up the group within minutes of my
getting a password, and therefore keep dragging my feet.

In all candor, Deja isn't nearly as attractive as it once was. Since only
10% (they claim anyway) of searches hit articles more than a year old,
they've seen fit to remove them. Ironically, the self-described "Before you
Buy" site helped me walk unaware into a product with well-known problem -
one that was clear to people more than a year ago... All is well though,
because the "prototype" unit failed on us too, and it will work well enough
for development purposes so the money's not really wasted.
That's a long way of saying to send thanks to Ian for continuing his
archiving activities!
> Also any smart answers to my ISP would be appreciated...
I can't top Andy's :)
