Default Newsgroup Elimination


Did any of you guys look at http://groups.google.com to see if what you
want is there? There are lots of ways to connect to NG servers that are
outside of your network (unless they disable nntp protocols).

Agreed, this is rather OT ,but if you have a (A)DSL connection with a
provider in the USA , do you have to 'sit out' a say 12 months contract
before you can switch or can you switch at any time ?
