Just thought that I would pass this along concerning the alt.** news groups. Bellsouth is not the only one dropping them. I was listening to TWIT today and it looks like there are several ISP¹s dropping the alt.** news groups (Roadrunner, Comcast and they mentioned some others). It seems the Attorney General of New York started a campaign against the news groups because porn was found on some of them. Here is the link to the podcast - http://twit.tv/twit
