Damn...my bank just told me the international bank transfer fee is
$40!!! I'm sure not gonna pay $40 to transfer $14!

OK, time to research plan B. RATS, I wish I had checked into this a few
hours ago.

I find the google option works quite well (sans spelling checker,
unfortunately).

If Google would offer a free Usenet server instead of their web-based
service that would solve your spell-check problem. Unfortunately, you
would almost certainly start seeing advertisements in each post. In a
Fortenberry post that would either be an ad for cheap, ****ty beer or
extremely expensive fly rods.

I just went part way through the process and got to the point where I could pay
by credit card. FWIW

Who's that in the red shirt, helping him with the sixteen ounce claw
adjuster?

who has simply GOT to meet more roffians! :(

That is most strange! I just went through the process, and it says the
only options are to use this German paypal thingy, or else do a wire
transfer. Are you at individual.net's page? Post a link.

It looks like the German Paypal thingy takes credit cards.

Well, it looks like individual.net pulled their free service as
threatened. Has anyone found a replacement free news server?

No binaries, but it works fine for text,
