Getting a domain name and cheap/free/included mail service is

But now you do not talk about usenet and would anyway be in trouble
getting usenet-access into the context... ;-)

Access, probably but admin. ie when the usenet service provider needs
to contact you a couple of years after you have signed up and you
have switched ISP, having "fixed" email address is helpful.
