If you don't want want to mess around registering for the news server
or getting a throw away address, you can use the free nntp.aioe.org.
Just plug it into TB or any newsreader and away you go. There are more
restrictions than eternal-september but if you have a life other than
Usenet they won't bother you...

True, the thing with aioe.org is that you don't need to create a
password and no need for a real email addy, even of the throwaway kind ...

This is great in an aid of making the world wide wiretap more difficult
to track/trace you, couple that up with a phony isp number, change the
volume id only hard drive now and then, and use mac makeup to switch the
mac no. on your nic now and then and it becomes even more difficult, use
another identity to make it appear as if you are really someone else and
you start getting a bit of security ...

Really, no one should be using their real isp for usenet anyway!
Everyone should be pretending like it's 1984, which it is!
