Here on my isp, panix.com, there's a local newsgroup called panix.questions -- has never had an article expire (thank god -- much of the info there is timeless). Recently, trying to get trn to look at the group has turned out to be near or fully impossible. It types something like "Scoring ...", and never seems to complete. I have to ^c the thing, to stop it (and exit trn). Anything already known that might explain the problem? If not, is there some way to turn off scoring -- or does even thinking of that make no sense at all? BTY, here's the version number: Trn version: 4.0-test76 (Apr 2, 2001). Configured for NNTP (plus individual local access). You can request help from: trn-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Send bug reports, suggestions, etc. to: trn-workers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Is that reasonably new (sure doesn't seem so, with that "ancient" date!)
