    because they fucking suck. i told you why and gave you examples of eternalsucktember.

    You did? You just said I should get astraweb. Did you delete part of
    your message or something?

    eternal september does weird blocking stuff and throttling. it will also not let you post under more than one username. it will also shut off your feed temporarily for various reasons.

    no i did not delete part of my message.

    there is no good free newsgroup provider. buy a 10 dollar block at a pay provider. it will last a long time.

    If you want to use usenet you need to use a client with spooling support suc as slrn.

    I have that set up for old computers to connect in and use on the Public Electronic Networked Information System (penisys.online:6502). It just requires 80 columns, and probably /some/ vt100 support.
