Default Discontinuance of newsgroups -- would anyone be interested in a leafnode service?

As various ISPs are announcing that they will no longer carry
newsgroups, I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in me
setting up a public newsserver, that would serve 2-3 newsgroups like
rec.crafts.metalworking, sci.engr.joining.welding, rec.woodworking,
for example. That would be a free service. It will not cost me much,
besides setup time. I cannot offer all newsgroups, but 2-5 or so,
should be possible.


That's a damned fine gesture, and it sure would interest me. My ISP hasn't
dropped news groups yet, but I imagine it's only a matter of time,
considering others are dropping them. Besides, my service sucks.

Keep us posted, Iggy.
