You might try access via google (groups.google.com) and web browsing.
Also, look at other ISPs. There are a lot out there. Lots are more
friendly to the old "free" internet spirit. I use www.panix.com quite a
bit of the time. There are many others.

I have sent the following to Verizon. I hope more do the same. They are
eliminating access to all but 8 supergroups.


Why are you deleting perfectly good newsgroups from your service? I
routinely access the following"
alt.autos.jaguar
alt.autos.subaru
alt.engineering.electrical
alt.ham-radio
alt.os.linux.ubunt
rec.radio.amateur.homebrew
If my access is denied, I will encourage my Senate and House delegations
to enact legistation that will restore my legitimate access to these
groups. I think the last thing you would want is more legislation on your
networks.
