Oh hai guyz. Just letting everyone know that I have a nearly-complete
backup of news, in INN's tradspool format, up to the day before the
server went down. Since I previously set my news client to cache the
contents of every message ever posted, I wrote a script to convert
from one format to the other and there you go. (It's "nearly-complete"
because it doesn't include groups I wasn't subscribed to; however, the
only groups I wasn't subscribed to are the ones nobody's posted
anything in for years, so we should be able to recover those
completely from the Really Old Backup)
