Anyone using"news individual.net" as a news server .I've not been able

I moved to motzarella.org when I got ****ed around over them failing
to take payment from 3 different credit cards.

The service is just as good, and completely free.

Motzarellea urns me down, reporting that it's `too busy' about once in
four. If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.

I won't pay for usenet out of principle frankly , not even a few pounds.
I use both Motzarella and AIOE - Motzarella often tiems out under
heavy load and AIOE occasionally only has some of the messages in a
thread - not showing others at all.

I paid a fiver for a few gigs of data from usenet-news about 18months
ago. Still got almost 3 gigs so at this rate I'll be needing more in
2011. Another fiver...
