Default Verizon dropping alt.* -- try free news://aioe.org

Thanks to a tip I just read from Mark Lloyd in another thread, I found out
about a free access to the alt.home.repair and other newsgroups.

It's news://aioe.org .

Or, go to http://aioe.org and view how to set up your newsreader to access
the aioe.org newsgroups for free.

In my case, I use Outlook Express, so I set it up to ADD a new newsgroup,
then I entered nntp.aioe.org when it asked for the NNTP news server.
