Hi,

I seem to be having a problem getting any more than a few (currently 2) days
worth of messages on this newsgroup. Can anyone tell me whether they can
see more than a couple of days worth. Currently it's so short a retension
time that it's not really very useful.

I'm with Blueyonder - I made an enquiry to see if they were deleting
messages after a few days but they say they pick up what's available on
their newfeed.

Grateful for any info in this respect.

Happy Paddling,

I know that it's not exactly a newsserver, and its user interface isn't
as flexible, but maybe http://groups.google.com can help you out? They
do carry uk.rec.boats.paddle:
http://groups.google.com/group/uk.rec.boats.paddle/

Also, I find very little traffic on uk.RBP in the last month, and I'm on
Giganews. Besides the five messages posted today there were only four
messages for the entire month of June, and maybe 20 for the entire month
of May.
