Losing access to newsgroup

AT&T posted a message yesterday that they would no longer be supporting
Usenet groups I know there are alternate ways to access the
newsgroup - Google being one of them. Can anyone post how they are able to
read & post to the newsgroup that is a cleaner route than going thru Google?

Are you actually losing your newsgroups or is this some of the spam that
has been going around. I have seen the heading message on almost all of
my newsgroups. Unless you get the message from AT&T itself, I wouldn't
worry too much right away.

If you are really losing ATT access to newsgroups, there are some free
services (Motzarella, Aioe, to name a couple) that will allow you to
access RCTQ. If you need a group that isn't part of their service,
Supernews is good and not expensive.

I use news.individual.net - costs me $14.11 a year and is very reliable. I
know several other people on rctq use it too, that's how I found out about
it.

I use news.albasani.net and have found it very user-friendly... keeps
messages available for a long time... and it's FREE!

I keep thinking I must be dense or something, but using Google is
absolutely the easiest way of reading and responding to the posts in
this list. On the side of the page is a list of all the posts with new
responses. That lets me keep track of older posts that are still
active. A quick glance shows me the poster, the subject and how many
people have jumped into the stew.

I have several other news groups that I absolutely hate because of the
clunky nature of the interface. Wish they were all Google groups.

I really enjoyed using Google too Sunny even though I am now using OE.

I agree. I have used Google for years. I have heard others complain
about it and laud their own choices. The only times I have disliked
using other browsers for access, is when I was using other than my own
computers. I guess it is just a case of what you get used to.

Google doesn't allow access to binary newsgroups. Therefore, I stay with
news.indivicual.net.

I use the reader at news.motzarella.org It downloads right in my
Outlook Express email program under "newsgroups". 'Sides that, it's free!
