What is the best free Usenet group access site?

[Patrick Turner]

My ISP has discontinued a link to comindico.com.au, a company which gave
me the news group access to rec.audio.tubes and other groups.

Any ideas?

Patrick Turner.

Hi RATs!

Patrick, I use Google Groups.

Your question brought lots of cool ideas. I have been sort of out of
it for the last decade, plus. These guys are great.

Recent reports that usoft is on a "screw Google" campaign give them
some net cred.

I hope you find something you like, you are one of my heroes :)

Don't let the *******s wear you down.

Happy Ears!

Al

Hi Al,

I been out of the group for a month mainly because I have no normal
nice ISP access to the Usenet Groups. They dumped the one good feed
they got via a place called comindico.com.au

They are too lazy to set up another feed route; they say there is no
demand, and that they are busy. I went over to speak to the guy who
runs the ISPand got knowhere, and all the other ISPs are the same.

I have also been extremely busy and I have enough amp orders to keep
me going until July 2010. If I said anything anytime now about tubes
I'd just be repeating myself for the umpteenth time.

If I am heroic, it is mainly to earn money to pay the damn bills.

Also, I like to ride a bike a bit. I did 10,100km last year, maybe
8,000km this year.

I am not always at ease being indoors at the keyboard, which makes a
man's body rot to peices.

Patrick Turner.
