Welcome to this dubious club, Dusty. Everyone is up in arms about this.
Solutions are on the way, and they won't involve AT&T or any of the other
ISPs who are dropping/have dropped the alt. binaries groups. Read the recent
threads on rgo; there are good ideas and stuff is in the works.
And by the way, at the present moment your post is most definitely not off
topic.

AT&T will no longer include Alt.binary newsgroups because of the
possibility of child pornography I guess pictures of blooming orchids
are to pornigraphic for AT&T MORONS!!!
Also the New York's Attorney General intelligences rating is most likely
at the level where he cant find his way out of a paper bag with both
ends open.
A bit of what they said about my complaint
This move is AT&T's effort, together with New
York's Attorney General, to help shut down online
sources of child pornography. AT&T has signed
agreements to remove child pornography websites and
child-porn newsgroups from their servers. AT&T is
now working with public officials and the
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in
the effort to help prevent the distribution of
this harmful and illegal content.
