Guess I can count myself lucky: my ISP (earthlink) merely
shopped their usenet "connections" to a 3d party, one of the
larger news-only operations. What this will mean down line is
anybody's guess, but seems to be working tolerably well for now.
WRT my comment to the OP, I had seen the posting the day it first
hit the 'net but failed to note the lack of a name or email
address. When that "clicked", I felt it worth saying something.
