Yup, my server still lists:
alt.games.diablo
alt.games.diablo2
alt.games.diablo.moderated
alt.games.diablo.necromancer
and
alt.games.diablo.tboh (hatever the hell that means).
I remember pondering them last time I re-installed and set up my
newsreader.
I might subscribe to them all and see what happens.
Cheers,
