The list shows BigGulp as having 7 newsgroups and 0 messages.
Whoo...... That is a list that I would really trust. Not!!!

Hi,

BigGulp has been last checked by our search engine September 9th.
In that meantime, it seems that BigGulp was not fuly operational
according to some posts I read.
Anyway: it will be automatically re-checked soon!

Let's see what the next check show and if results are still wrong we
will investigate to get this repaired.

Thanks!

We all know BG has more than 7 groups on it, as well as completion to
rival the top premium usenet news service providers.

Well, now, yeah. Not long ago, it seems that quite a few couldn't
connect even *with* a whole bunch of hand holding. In some ways,
I kinda liked those good ole days. This group was a bit more fun
to read. For the times that the whiners got too loud, there was
always the trusty filters.

Oh, are you 'still' having problems getting it to work for you ?
Try something different, lynx or IE perhaps, might work better than opera
for usenet.
