    I've been using Eternal September as my Usenet provider out of sheer
    inertia. It's clearly dying, though, becoming more like Eternal Wait. Sometimes it takes several tries to load a message.

    I've had no problems at all with Eternal September.

    But I am using a *very* obscure reader.

    Ditto.

    I'm still using trn 4.0. I've found that it's installable
    in Windows Subsystem for Linux. I *love* its kill file
    feature, though I don't use it all that much. And it's
    pure text; I defy anything short of The Blight to infect
    my computer through that.

    That's the one I'm using with no problems.
