Default It's official (Verizon) - Anyone care if I post pictures at RGO?

I haven't seen it, Ray.

As was mentioned yesterday, as such groups are not intended for images,
some ISP's block them.

I posted a message on RGO yesterday with an image (via Verizon), has
anyone seen it?

There you are, Kye. Why did we need a separate group from rgo for photos?
If anyone can explain it, you can, since you set this one up way back
when.

Ray,

I have been looking at setting up a news-group server for hosting abpo
and rgo archives. As it would be publicly accessible, would that
alleviate the pressures for you???

Dear Verizon Online Customer,

As a Verizon Newsgroup service user, we wanted to let you know about
some important changes that we will soon be making to our Newsgroup
service.

On June 24, 2008, we will be modifying our Newsgroup offerings to only
offer groups in the Big-8 Newsgroup hierarchies, which are listed
below. The 0.verizon.* newsgroup hierarchy will also continue to be
available. Users will not be able to post or download from any other
newsgroups using our Newsgroup service.

comp.*
humanities.*
misc.*
news.*
rec.*
sci.*
soc.*
talk.*

More details regarding the Big 8 newsgroup hierarchies is available at:
http://www.big-8.org/.

This change will not affect your Internet access service. If you would
like to subscribe to newsgroups other than those we offer, you will
need to subscribe to a separate commercial news service. Please note
that your use of any such service is still subject to our Terms of
Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

There are no changes required to your software, but you will need to
unsubscribe from all Newsgroups other than the Big 8 hierarchies and
the 0.verizon.* hierarchy noted above. The following link explains
how to subscribe and unsubscribe in Outlook Express:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/171190

IMPORTANT: If you continue to subscribe to unsupported newsgroups, you
may experience poor computer performance and slow throughput speeds.
Failure to unsubscribe may also interfere with the functioning of the
Verizon network or use of the network by other Verizon users, which is
a violation of our Acceptable Use Policy.

We appreciate your business and look forward to continuing to serve you
in the future.

Sincerely,


Verizon Online
