Hell, just go to Google and Groups. Sign up for those newsgroups you
want and you can both read and post to them without using any
subscription service or special reader.

I would probably give up entirely on the Usenet before I do that. The
Google interface is terrible, and they do nothing to filter the spam. In
fact, Google is the conduit that most spammers use to flood the Usenet with
their crap.

There are much better choices than Google. Many of them free.
