 Ahh... you're assuming I did this on a regular basis... only
once a week is when I did it.  And only then to catch up with
things I had missed during the week (mostly items in comp.compilers,
triangle.* (local information) and some comp.lang groups.)

 However, I wasn not the cause of the change by my ISP; only an
accidental victim;  I'm guessing some Windows software was the culprit.
