I have been in contact with AOL about the dropping of the newsgroups and
their official response is basically "not enough participation" but my
guess is that they are cheapening out. Everyone who reads this list on AOL
needs to write them about keeping it. I told them that this was the last
straw and I may go to a DSL which is actually cheaper. And they complain
about losing members.... makes you wonder which non customer oriented MBA
thought this one up. By the way, you can get the newsgroups free by going
to http://groups.google.com and signing up.---Mike
Losing money? Too expensive? I work for an aggregator and we re-sell
Supernews tp ISPs (we give it away to our retail customers.) We get $50 a
month from an ISP for news, no matter how many users they have.
