Hi all,

I saw in some other groups that Comcast will soon be dumping newsgroup
access.

That explains why things went strange a little while ago. I don't
recall any notice from Comcast.

So, I'm in the market for a newsgroup service. Comcast used Giganews,
which worked well except when Comcast screwed it up somehow. Going
direct eliminates one layer of trouble.

What else do people use and like, or hate, and why?
