Further south, you find less > sites and less groups. The German backbone not only doesn't get the talk groups, it doesn't get all of the soc groups and rec groups, too. The Netherlands doesn't really count, since mcsun, the European backbone, *is* in the Netherlands. This leaves UK, Finland, Denmark, and Sweden; so obviously only a small minority of the European countries that are connected to the USENET get all the groups. See you in sci.aquaria!
