I trust that you are calling them every single day to tell them that it is
absolute stupidity to remove newgroups that have no child porn as part of a
compaign they claim to be against child porn.

And then you switch to using the NUMBER ONE source of Usenet spam as your
alternative? Just pray that the spammers don't start doing "followup spam"
via Google groups to try to get past the blocking that allows followups to
bypass filters (e.g. I'll figure out how to block it all if spammers do that
before Google cleans house, and will be quite willing to tell everyone else
how to do it).

You could, instead, switch to one of the paid Usenet providers, and just
treat it as Verizon raised your billing price again.

I used google groups as a temporary measure to post because my posts
were not getting through via the 2 newsgroups services I was trying.
We'll see if it now all works...
