Default So long newsgroups...

They are using the "they did it" excuse. So my newsgroup service is going
bye bye. The greed never stops.

To be fair, I would dump their ass for another company if I could. I guess
I am greedy too. Just you wait Comcast!

This group really saved me lots of pain and suffering.


I'll go along with the several others which suggested aioe.org . This is
a fantastic server for free. Except donate if you can. I had aioe as a
backup server, when I had TW Roadrunner newsgroups. TW decided to dump
newsgroups.

Also, at the aioe help desk, the person which offers the service, will
answer questions.

The only thing I found, one of my subscriptions, is a read only group. I
wrote, and aioe answered they don't allow posting, because the group
contains a lot of spam.

One other drawback, but it's not a drawback in my case. You can "only"
post 25 times per day.
