FYI I found this on alt.online-service.comcast today

Posted by ComcastCares at 4:04CDT. today:


"The Comcast Newsgroups service, powered by Giganews has been
discontinued effective 9/17/08. Existing customers will continue to be
able to access the service until 10/25/08

This decision is in alignment with other ISP's that have recently
terminated their Newsgroups service due to the declining popularity of
Newsgroups as customers chose other methods, such as RSS feeds and web
browsing to access information.

While the majority of Newsgroups are safe, newsgroups have been found to
be a source of child pornography on the internet. This is just one of
the child protection measures Comcast has taken to help reduce access to
child pornography..."
