has it really been 4 days since anyone posted anything? Teri > has it really been 4 days since anyone posted anything? Yep :-(.  SignatureMo >> has it really been 4 days since anyone posted anything? > > Yep :-(. a lot of Americans that use cable modems to access have lost Usenet services because of the Attorney General of NY filing a class action complaint. he found 12 binary groups with <gasp> pr0n & somehow convinced 4 major access corporations to drop access. i know Nan's provider droped all alt. & binary grups, & 3 others droped *all* Usenet. unless those folks find a free Usenet provider or pay for an NNTP server access, they can't contribute anymore... and a LOT of those people just can't afford to buy access on top of what they pay the cable companies. lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >>> has it really been 4 days since anyone posted anything? >> [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > afford to buy access on top of what they pay the cable > companies. I know Nan posted about not having access anymore a while back in the Sanc. In response I posted a link to free servers that carry alt.mothers. I never heard back, so I don't know whether those servers work or not. They do work for me.

I thought it was just me not getting anything new for a few days. A few of my groups have been absolutely nothing new for the last 3-4 days or so (and some of them are ones that seem to be fairly active with a few people posting daily, at least, updates on this or that) I also have been having some major issues with my news server. And a few others with the same provider have had the same complaints about newsgroups in general... So I thought it was just me. > a lot of Americans that use cable modems to access have lost > Usenet services because of the Attorney General of NY filing a [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > afford to buy access on top of what they pay the cable > companies. omg! I had no idea that happened! I have been avoiding news because of all the political crud and I missed that too. Darn! So when do our restrictions end up like China? In two or five years? Sheesh. Not that I support pr0n where it is readily available to kids, but this controling of the end user instead of the source is punishing the class for the behavior of one acting out kid, if you get my drift.

Comcast is dropping it the end of this week. no reduction in charge, of course, although they'll be saving buckets on not having to provide it. what is really stupid is dropping *all* of usenet, instead of the few groups that might have the issue (binaries groups). lee SignatureLast night while sitting in my chair I pinged a host that wasn't there It wasn't there again today The host resolved to NSA. >>> has it really been 4 days since anyone posted anything? >> [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >pr0n & somehow convinced 4 major access corporations to drop >access. That's very annoying My issue has been Hurricane Ike and no access while evacuated. And not as much time because we need to do alot to our house. > i know Nan's provider droped all alt. & binary grups, & 3 >others droped *all* Usenet. unless those folks find a free [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >companies. >lee SignatureDorothy There is no sound, no cry in all the world that can be heard unless someone listens ..
