I probably will look into alternative service at some point. Right now,
though, everything about my system needs updating. It makes sense for
me to wait until that's done. Also, I spend entirely too much time on
usenet as it is. I thought I'd use Comcast's fiat as an opportunity to
see how I like going usenetless for a while, sort of going cold turkey.
There are things that I'll miss, but as it is, I put in quite a bit of
time weeding through threads I'm not interested in to get to the
intermittent reinforcement of the threads I am interested in. (I'm not
putting anyone down or telling anyone how to post or not to post, just
stating how it appears from here.)
