... "Anthony W" wrote in message ... I got an eMail from Verizon this morning saying that they are dropping their news server. alt.free.newsservers before they pull the plug. I use http://www.eternal-september.org/ like Ron with good results. AIOE is ok but has had weeks long down time in the past. There are also some decent low cost usenet providers. Agreed, although I have not yet seen fit to go with the low cost route--even though some of them do provide coverage of some additional text groups that Bellsouth, ATT, and presumably Verizon used to carry--in addition to the binary groups. In any case, I singned up with both Eternal-September and AIOE a couple of months ago and have had results similar to yours--with an interesting twist: Earlier in this thread, I had a "senior moment" and posted that I was pleased using Eternal-September, which is quite true; but AIOE is adjacent on my news server list in an effort to provide redundancy and I happened to be using it at the moment that I posted. Interestingly, the post appeared for about a day before being deleted. It no longer appears on either server and was probably deleted everywhere that is connected in the normal manner of UseNet. The way that I found out what must have happened was by looking for it on Google-Groups, where it does still appear, and where the error is plainly visible--you don't even need to use the "view original" option.
