Don't do it, David! This is Usenet, not Google!

You can get a 'free for life' news account from Teranews
http://www.teranews.com/ but there's a one-off setup charge of $3.95
(about two quid). Seems to work pretty well, I have an account with them
which I've used from time to time.

Very much agree with you. NIN is only 10 euros a year as well and is very
reliable. Already, I have killfiled Google posters in other ngs because
of
all the spam that Google passses on. It won't take much more before I kf
Google in this ng.



Also they post in a format that Outlook Express cannot recognise to indent
correctly, which is a real pain. Google is useful as a News archive and in
an emergency when a proper newsreader is unavailable, but is more akin to a
web discussion group than Usenet.
