Despite all prevention efforts, "Scurvy Dog"
wrote in : teranews.com has a small set up fee but otherwise is free and it carries binary groups. Unless you'll be doing a lot of binary grabbing (they have a 50MB/day limit), I would definitely recommend Teranews. I've been with them since before they started charging the set-up fee, but I would pay that if I had to. Retention is generally very good, and reliability is pretty good as well (they have hiccups here and there, but they're still my pick over any of the free services I've tried). -- James http://www.e-host-direct.com Reliable web hosting from $12/year. |

Hello In reading the postings, I hope this does not become a trend to all Internet Service Providers. I am using "Giganews" that is provided through EarthLink at this time. You may try "Giganews" directly on the web link shown below. I have no ideal what they would charge. You could use Google, but there are some limitations. X-Usenet-Provider: http://www.giganews.com FYI -- I am still around. I work nights from 3;00pm to 2:00am. It is nice to have a full time job. It will last me until mid July. Unemployment has gone up here in Arizona every month this year so far. It now stands at 9.6 percent at the end of March 2010. It was 9.2 percent in January of 2010. .... .... |

Terranews has a setup fee. I started using AIOE, and that's totally free. No binary groups, tho. Eric Babula |

Currently, I only follow rcc and one other genealogy group on Usenet, so my needs are pretty basic. I can certainly live without binary groups and can't see paying any fees for what I had been getting for free for a dozen years or more. It's just that ever present "change" that this old person will now have to get used to. I have two months. Thanks, folks. |

Which genealogy group are you following? I used to follow a couple, too: soc.genealogy, alt.genealogy. Have been away from usenet for a while. Slowly coming back...maybe. |

I think I'll try eternal-september, assuming I can navigate through the proper newsreader client changes. A neighbor's 10-year-old may be able to set me up. I can drive a car just fine, but I always rely on someone else to help set the points and adjust the gonkulator. I have followed alt.genealogy for a number of years, but it's become pretty bland lately and I may just ignore it in the future. Otherwise, I will continue to spend money on various genealogy research subscription sites. |

Speaking of retention they have over 160000 messages in this group that go back to this post On 10 Jun 2005 08:06:30 -0700, "Anka" wrote: Zoooooooommmmmm!! Right over your head. Again. That's right, over my head. I do believe in fact that the reverse is the case. Think! LOL. Well, at least you didn't try to go "over my head" by writing in a foreign language or by otherwise being cryptic or allusive. The purpose of writing, after all, is to communicate, to be understood. But you already know this, right? Nothing changes with some "members". Guess who responded to Anka's post above. George -- Government is a voracious monster that must have your labor to control YOU! Your money is your liberty. The taxes you pay gently enslave you, and eventually destroy any human liberty you have. Fear government, pray for the country. |
