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.

Right now I am using AT&T (bellsouth) DSL. If they drop the news groups
and Comcast doesn't, I think bellsouth will lose both my phone and
internet business. It's nice to have TWO providers of the same service
competing with each other!
