Donna G. can't get here to post; WebTV's newsreader is down

(I posted this under "You may not hear from WebTV users for a while")

Hi all.

I'm Nell of Bayville, NJ, who was introduced to this group by Donna G. and
who posted last year (or the year before? yikes) here w/ a different email
address.

Anyhoo, the WebTV newsreader is down and has been for several hours. We have
a status board (I still have WebTV with which I post to the firewalled
groups) and it gave the time of the outage and there's no ETR (estimated
time of resolution).

This is the longest the newsreader has been down since I remember and I've
had WebTV since July 1999.

Hopefully the outage won't last much longer.

Here's the URL of the Status Board:
http://askwebtv.webtv.net/status/stat.html

I'm posting from computer but my WebTV addy is nellybly at webtv.net which
I've posted with and also a now defunct Comcast addy (the last time I had
Comcast for my internet--I must be a glutton for punishment! LOL).

Nell

Here's a ccp of an email I sent to Donna (with quotes from another WebTV
user):
Hi Donna,
Here's a ccp of an email I got from another WebTV user:

"I just got an update from a friend who said she just got off the phone
with MSNTV and they told her they really don't know when the groups will
be back but its looking more like sometime monday or later!
Grrrrrrrrrrrr!"
