According to Piet, who runs the main gateway (mcsun (was mcvax)), it looks like some are, some are thinking about it, and a few are keeping to a very limited list - e.g. Portugal. I don't think everyone takes all the sci groups even. If you want *every* European country to get the group, you'd better call it comp.aquaria :-> UK, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany all take most or all groups now (Germany doesn't take any talk). Further south, you find less sites and less groups. -- Regards, "None shall be enslaved by poverty, ignorance or conformity" David Wright STL, London Road, Harlow, Essex CM17 9NA, UK dww@stl.stc.co.uk ...uunet!mcvax!ukc!stl!dww PSI%234237100122::DWW
