Thanks, kiddo. I was given a gift subscription to individual.net, and
was happy to read on their site that I can, in fact, munge my address.
Thanks for the helpful info!

Thank you to everyone who recommended free servers. I still don't
know what went wrong when I was using Charter and Ultrafeed, but
everthing's good now.

A special thank you to the kind person who gave me a subscription to
individual.net. I like their service so much!

Simple solution is not to be cheapskate and pay for a news server.

On Motzarella, I can not get alt.binary.food, or any alt groups. I must
be doing it wrong.

individual.net is the one I use, and I started using them when it was
free. I thought their yearly fees were reasonable and I have never had
a problem with them.

Becca - Just got an account on Motzarella about 20 minutes ago just to
have a third backup as I use two ISP USENET servers already. I was able
to subscribe to about any group I normally use except for the majority
of binary groups. A.B.F was an exception. You can subscribe to it, but
you will not see any binaries, just text posts (mostly the replies).

Heck, on *my* page, above, there's a link to my own coverage of that fact:

http://blinkynet.net/comp/individual.html

I think of everything.

Then ignore the response I just sent to the above post, mentioning that I

Usually I'd agree with you. But I also re-subscribed to a.b.f. and there
must have indeed been a 'blip'. Saw several (smallish) images that
had 'snuck through'. However the majority of the threads had no posts
with attachments in them. My theory is that if a post is under a
certain size/number of lines it may be allowed by motz. But that's just
my theory. Anyway, I'd rather just pay my few bucks every few years and
see all the binaries I want. Motz is great for text groups tho' - and
it's free.

Chatty Cathy -

I wasn't pointing out that anyone was wrong. I was just describing my
experience as I registered for the free service on Motz yesterday, so
you really have nothing to disagree with :-)

You can have as many "blips" as you want to and I shan't complain.

I paid a miniscule amount for a block, a one time charge,
and it normally works flawlessly, binaries and all. I'm not
complaining. I probably should have switched servers but
I'm reluctant to screw around with settings.

<G> Wasn't saying you were wrong either, Bob... was just saying that
I've never seen any binary posts on a.b.f. there before either (and I
thought motz just didn't carry them) - but somehow several binary posts
were indeed there when I re-subscribed - I saw them myself. (e.g.
there's one from Big Jim in the "Chess anuone?" thread (his typo, not
mine <veg>), and a few other posts as well.)

FWIW, I haven't found a free news feed (yet) that carries all the
binaries; don't blame them - takes up a lot of bandwidth and/or server
space, which has to be paid for...

This morning I checked again, and there are not alt groups on
Motzarella. It must be me.

You might need to reset the list of groups to update it. If the group
you want is really not there, you can ask for it in the group
motzarella.grouprequests. The response is usually positive and fast. I
have "subscribed" to 4 alt. groups and 2 uk. groups.

Becca -

If you have more then the two top level hierarchies of Motzarella and
and Posenet, Alt is probably there but hard to see in the light gray
color it's name has.

If nothing else, you can go to either motzarella.newusers or
mottzarella.support for further assistance.

Yabut, it's still not completely 'free', i.e. one still has to pay
the 'one-time' fee.

It's pretty trivial but I've never wanted to read binary newgroups
anyway.
