What is it?

[Broadback]

It just failed to connect. Now however the fault has changed and it asks for my password, but does not accept it. I have contacted eternal-september, and tried again with the password they sent. Hm. will have another stab at it.

[Glenn]

Ah, it's a newsgroup service http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

[Simon]

Sorry, no idea, BB. 

[Rik]

Who do you use as your Usenet provider, BB?

[Broadback]

What is my newsnet subscriber? I thought that was news eternal-september, no idea, excuse my ignorance. I have now gone to news eternal and reset my password to a new one, it still refuses to accept it.

[Rik]

Who do you pay for the Usenet service?

[Broadback]

No one Rik, news eternal-september is free. I only pay Idnet fro my internet.

[Rik]

OK. Sorry, can't help with them, you need to talk to their support.

I have discover more, it seems there is a known problem with Thunderbird, this is supposed to have been overcome with the latest version, however it is still poorly for me. I will continue to investigate.

[Broadback]

It has started working, of its own accord. Seems that it is a Thunderbird problem, and I was so happy with Thunder bird. Where do I go next? 

[Simon]

Well, if it's working now, is it not worth seeing how things go?

[Broadback]

No, its gone again, just like a politician's promise, now you see it now you don't.
