I use 5 different NTTP servers, my ISP's (which I HATE, hardly ever use, thats why I have the next 4), news.individual.net, mailgate.org, newsgate.x-privat.org, and aioe.org... and these emails all came in yesterday. Okay, now, I use www.individual.net, and I haven't gotten any such notice. The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom |

I received 4 notices yesterday, from each of the NTTP servers I use. Back into imposed lurkdom, Noreen No, but it wouldn't surprise me. There's no money to be made off of us. All the pr0n and warez leeches are where the money is these days: binaries or bust is the new news services motto. It wouldn't be "usenet" closing it down, however, just some providers not carrying the feeds anymore. Any change to the usenet hierarchy has to be approved by a vote, doesn't it? At least that was the case for many years of my participation, which began almost 20 years ago. I use news.individual.net and I haven't heard anything about closing r.c.t.*. -- Barbara Vaughan My email address is my first initial followed by my last name at libero dot it. |

The Other Kim kimagreenfieldatyahoodotcom I would think that is is "hear-say" Maybe it is a good idea to not believe everything that is posted on the internet. Use your own common sense and that will get you a long way. When I open Newswatcher, to access RCTY the message I get is a list of new groups that have formed.

I use sympatico in Canada, and they advised me that they were charging
extra for newsgroups, and as I did not pay the extra, they all disappeared. I am now trying to use Google for NGs, (does it work?) but may also switch to cable for high speed (and for the phones as well?) Bell are really doing a bad job in this part of the world. Roger.

"JCT" wrote in message oups.com... I don't use them as a provider other than using the LAN in our home wirelessly. We have never used them for e-mail or whatever. My DH has never wanted to try switching our e-mail as address is very widely available in print and changing it would be an immense issue. I could, I guess but don't really need to switch. I am using comcast for the newsgroups but have never used the e-mail or any of their other stuff. I only use the access for internet and the newsgroups. Works great. Carol in TN |

Google is ok - I switched when AOL stopped carrying newsgroups. I also use cable for high speed (Comcast in my case) but not yet for phones. Judy Why don't you use Comcast of newsgroups? DA |
