The message never posts on the newsgroup.
I found the nntp feed entertaining, but it is easier to download the 
messages through my pop server and read, then delete them at will.

This does sound like a handy feature for searching the archives though. 
I don't think that I'd download all 89841 of them though.

I did find out that I didn't have to set any firewall rules for enabling 
the port to the newsfeed. I must have caught the news server when it was 
busy when I got the failure.
