   Yes..  I was pulling in a handful of echoes from your nntp feed a while ago.    
   Thank you SO MUCH for that, btw.   
      
   BUT.. sadly, the ng pointers kept messing up.  A reset/renumber on my end (in   
   Thunderbird) was not helping.  Maybe it was a shortcoming in the TB version   
   that I still prefer to use. The pointer problem started affecting some of the   
   other ngs I was reading from your feed too.  So, I decided to try another feed   
   - thus, Tommi's system from Finland which I gleened from the list of JamNNTPd   
   servers in the fidonews newsletter.     
      
   Everything looked good from Tommi's feed, BUT there was no FIDOGAZETTE echo as   
   ng available. I thought that my access to the echo would not be possible and I   
   started to resign to that reality.  Just lurking in it would have been   
   satisfactory.   
      
   https://fidonet.ozzmosis.com/is a fine solution, but there is no FIDOGAZETTE.   
      
   http://www.digitaldistortionbbs.com/ has FIDOGAZETTE, but the page loads blank.   
      
   MEANWHILE, with other interests in mind, I ventured onto WinPoint. Tommiset me   
   all up to talk to his system.  An areafix request listed FIDOGAZETTE,  ..and   
   here I am.  And, the other ngs/nntp/echoes behave very nicely from his system   
   for my occassional fallback with Thunderbird too.   
      
   I really really appreaciated the nntp feed from you, but the pointer problem   
   (even after the reset/renumber) was not pulling in the most recent posts   
   anymore.  I even cleared all remnants of the files that TB uses for storing   
   particular ngs.  But each time I reconnected and re-subscribed to fidogazette,   
   the problem persisted.
