>You should change your Usenet provider. Perhaps they think you're using too much bandwidth. Whatever it is, it doesn't matter - they got your number. I would stay away from Google Groups though.

Giganews is aimed at binary groups. There's no way you're going to
exceed any kind of quota using text only posts. AIOE has a limit to
the number of posts you can make per day, but they're free.
