I use this feed,  it seems pretty solid to me.  He seem to have access to a large number of them and can autorequest more if you areafix them.  Be wary though..  linking your msg bases can take a while if you go high capacity.  I did unlimited on a couple and basically got mail bombed.  Took forever to link them all.  bogged me down to a crawl...  However. I gotta say, a credit to nick for having the capacity to handle it. I doubt he would suggest getting yourself in that position for eveyones sake lol.

 og> 2: Setup your requested newsgroups in the appropriate message area using
 og> the newsgroup base type.

What does this actually do?  I realized that they are just set up as normal echomail bases here.  they seem to work, I've posted without issue.  I don't see anything in the docs about it yet ;)
