My ISP dropped usenet recently and I
have been using (including right now) news.motzarella.org, which is
free with registration. For free without registration, there's
news.aioe.org.
Search the archives of this N.G. before recommending 'aioe.org';
recent unfortunate activity from its users resulted in that
serivce dropping sci.electronics.repair.

Hmm, this is a test posting to sci.electronics.repair from aioe.org due
to the above claim.


AIOE blocked it for a while after complaints about hundreds of forged
messages were posted through their servers. In fact, all of the
sci.electronics.* groups were blocked.


That just proves that there are idiots all over the place.
Alt.os.linux.ubuntu and c.o.linux.advocacy have 2 or 3 users who
routinely cross-post junk. The posters should be kicked off with an all
news groups ban on them, and not destroy it for all the serious users.
Keeping a ban filter on offenders IP's would be much simpler.
