Roadrunner plans to end usenet sup****t entirely on 6/23.
This was quietly announced in RR Help. Other (e.g., Verizon)
ISPs have less draconian plans in the works.
There are many alternatives available, ranging in price from
US$15 down to free ... some not even requiring registration.
Several examples:
news.individual.net 10 EUR per year
motzarella.org free with registration
teranews.com one-time $3.95 setup fee
news.aioe.org free - no registration
news.astraweb.com 25GB for $10, 90GB for $25
.... and many others charging $10-15 per month.
I enjoy reading rec.pets.cats.health+behav; don't want to
lose touch.
