I wholeheartedly agree. But a slight clarification:
news.individual.net isn't an ISP, it's a usenet service. My ISP
(Optimum Online) does have usenet but it sucks so badly that I switch
to n.i.n. for the groups. And just to head off the obvious comment:
I didn't switch ISP's because I get 8.6MB (yes, that's not a typo)
download speeds while sitting on the couch running wireless.

Ever wonder about those people who spend $2.00 apiece on those little
bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backwards...
