  <pre>TWC will no longer offer a Usenet server, but won&#39;t block access to other Usenet servers.  Since blocking all Usenet groups to block 88 of those groups is stupid and silly, clearly TWC has been wanting to get rid of Usenet for some time now, and got their excuse from the New York Attorney General.

I&#39;m told Everest will not be blocking Usenet, and if you have to keep TWC, TWC will not block your Supernews, Giganews, and Usenet.com Usenet subscriptions.  Which makes their efforts largely immaterial: people who were getting their &quot;child porn&quot; from Usenet will just keep paying TWC for Internet and pay some other company for Usenet access.

This sucks! I have used Usenet for years and years and still do. A
wonderful internet resource that most don&#39;t even know exists. Kinda
like FTP. Mention FTP or Usenet (Newsgroups) to most Windows users and
you will see a nice blank stare as their eyes glass over with confusion.<br>
<br>
Anyway, looks like I have to find another Usenet server. I have never
had to shop Usenet servers before. You mentioned Supernews, Giganews,
and Usenet.com. Does anyone have a suggestion on which to use?<br>
