My news.individual.net subscription has run out!
Do many here access the group on Google??
How can I add a sig?

My work internet connection blocks the usual usenet servers, and I am
forced to use Google.

There is a way round that block if you use NIN. Change the "Port" setting
from 119 to 8119 and it should work fine. I doubt they block 8119. This
is from NIN FAQs:

My service provider blocks port 119! Is there an alternate port for your
news server?

Yes. If your provider blocks the standard NNTP port (119), or if he
degrades connections on this port, please change the port setting in your
newsreading software to port 8119.
