Arg! For the past few weeks my ISP's newsfeed has been screwed up.
I can post but I can't get any new headers for this group (or any
other, for that matter). What's the name of that inexpensive one
that so many of you folks use? Individual.net? If someone could
kindly e-mail me and let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Hope all are well... :-)

Yes, it's news.individual.net. It's about 10 euros (this year,
around $14) per year, and they're very reliable.

Chatty-Cathy turned me on to http://usenet-news.net/

Newsgroups couldn't be any cheaper, short of free. I paid $3 for 5G of
bandwidth. How does that work out? I've been using it for about 3-4 mos,
download tens of thousands of headers, read a dozen newgroups, and still
have only used 0.015G. I figure that $3 will last a couple years, at the
very least.

In good conscience, I will say this provider's servers are a little slow on
the uptake. I sometimes have to wait 1-2 mins to actually connect and
download headers, but it's not real bad and I'm not so impatient I can't put
up with an occassional delay for a measly $1.50 yr. Strangely, uploading
(posting) is almost always instant. I think it's just heavy traffic, which
is not an unreasonable expectation at these prices.

That's it.

But I'm trying a new free one, noted in the last line of my sig.

So far, it's lookin' good.
