Dear newsgroup participant,

due to the constantly growing traffic on our news server
(news.alaska-software.com), a larger dedicated server
system will be set up over this weekend, i.e. Jan. 14- 15, 2006.
The new server system will add new features, such as
automated spam filtering and a new web-frontend, to name
just the most important changes.

In order to make the transition, all newsgroups will become
read-only beginning on Saturday, Jan. 14th, 2006, until the
new server system is up and running for good.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

With kind regards,
Alaska Software
