Is there a server down somewhere that anyone knows of? I'm writing via
Google Groups. Any ideas? And if Earthlink doesn't support the news
groups, maybe it's time for a new service. Which ones "support" news
groups?

The lag on Google sux. Just subscribe to Individual Net

http://news.individual.net/

It takes a couple of days to go thru but it's free and very reliable.
