Just got word from AOL that AOL is terminating all of their newsgroups. It was
nice knowing everyone in this group, even though there were way too many off
topic postings. Anyway, farewell, and if you want to talk about boating or have
a sea story oir a fish tale to tell, give me a call on the radio.

You can listen on line at www.959watd.com or anytime during the week (most
weeks - the blizzard knocked us off last week) at either www.959watd.com or
www.massbayboating.com.

"Listen to 'Nautical Talk Radio' with Captain Lou on the web by clicking
NAUTICAL NEWS at www.959watd.com. If you are in Boston or Cape Cod set your
radio dial to 95.9FM and tune in the live broadcast on Sunday afternoons
between 4 - 5.

Sounds like a hoax to me. I suppose they might want to limit usage,
especially for binaries, but you can always get access yourself for a
free or a modest charge. Why are you wasting money on AOL anyways?
