When I try to access this NG I get a message: " MESSAGE IS NO LONGER
AVAILABLE ON THE SERVER". Can anyone tell me why? I get the same on
rec.aviation.rotorcraft, & rec.crafts.metalworking, but not on
rec.crafts.pottery or rec.autos.tech.

I'll suggest an answer for ya: Supernews

Supernews are the scumbags of usenet.
