A good feed costs as little as $8/month. A good newsreader costs under $30,
and may even be _free_. (Forte Agent is $30, Forte Free Agent and MTNW are
_free_.) And, news flash for those who depend on their ISPs for a newsfeed...
thanks to that idiot in New York, many American ISPs are going to be dropping
USENET feeds Real Soon Now. Y'all had best find a cheap feed which is
independent of your ISP, and be quick about it, or you may lose access to
USENET... period.

RoadRunner dropped EVERYTHING at the end of June. They no longer
provide ANY access to usenet. Verizon took out the entire
alt.hierarchy, and other major providers followed.

Thank you New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, you meddling,
nanny-state Nazi.

laddie: what's MTNW? Always ready to check out a new reader.
