Doesn't really surprise me - there's always at least one more nitwit than was
counted on. And it's just the kind of excuse the ISPs would love to use to cut
their costs - and without lowering subscriber fees (just like CommieCast
claims Usenet is a "free" service - which is one service that is ripe for the
picking).

Probably a good idea to check out the independent news providers just in case.
I've had good luck with www.motzarella.org wrt content and retention of
discussion groups. Folks that are into binaries wouldn't be happy with it,
tho...
