Default Just a heads up on Usenet aka $ for less

³For many years, SNiP has provided our customers with free access to
USENET newsgroups. Due to the limited use of this service by our
customers, SNiP will be suspending this service beginning Tuesday, June
24, 2008.

Customers who wish to continue to receive this service can subscribe on
their own to a third-party news provide such as Giganews
(www.giganews.com). Giganews offers plans starting at $7.99 per month
and unlimited plans starting at $24.99 per month. Some newsgroups can
also be accessed via the web through Google Groups (groups.google.com),
which is a free service. Other providers can easily be found by looking
up the word "Usenet" in a search engine of your choice.³

I went with supernews for the binaries. Giganews bought supernews.
