Since Verizon will be dumping their news groups shortly I just signed up
for Astraweb's news service. I chose the 25GB option to try it out.
So far sign-up and set-up was simple, although I first forgot to point
my news reader to use "NewsProxy")
It's good to be able to access "alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking" again.

You must use *IE* 8. The last version of Outlook Express is 6.00. You used
OE 6.00.5843 to post your message.
Firefox will give your cat warts. If you don't have a cat, you should be
okay.

I paid the 25 bucks for 180 gig last June. According to my
calculations I'm downloading less than a gigabyte a month, which means
I'll need to resubscribe about 2039 or so. Fastest news server I've
ever used, and I first found usenet in 1991.

I have been using astraweb for over a year now. 25GB for $10. Used about
1 GB so far. In 24 more years I'll be close to 90 ...

Just in case, Seriously, thanks for pointing out what should have been
obvious "to me". I was not trying to be a SA although after rereading what
I posted in response I could see it could easily be interpreted as offensive
towards you, which it was not intended to be.
Whew!
