This hack DOES WORK. You just need to find the correct news server. I have been using this hack on the day it was released, and it has not stopped working yet. The only time it stops working is when my free news server changes IP addresses - I just need to keep up!

Well done, Gilby, for one of the best hacks for VB!

I wonder about the legality of just connecting to any news-server that happens to allow posting to anyone, or even reading. I haven't found a single site that actually advertises with "hey, you can post all you want though our newsserver".

That's the thing that bugs me about this.
