I do listen to DW via shortwave, though the speech is sometimes too fast for me
to follow. Also, I listened to the world broadcasts from Moscow and a variety
of other places where English is available. The news services here are so much
the controlled *sameness* as each other that the only way to have even a slight
chance at getting some balance is to listen to many different slants and then
forge an amalgam of your own that provides that balanced, comprehensive
viewpoint.
(It's really pretty sad, though, for US news sources, which you'd well imagine
could provide substantial variety and a great deal of depth for all the time and
money they soak up. But you can turn to different broadcast news programs in
the US and get almost exactly the same story with exactly the same slant at
exactly the same clock time. No variation -- might as well have only one
service. This is particularly put into context when you listen to shortwave.)

hehe. I've learned almost no Spanish, though. I suppose I should try.

It's not a "flood," so don't worry about that. Yeah, NNTP would be nice. But I
think there is something going on here about allowing these groups to be private
and variously controlled by their moderators, so perhaps NNTP fails on this
score.
