Yes, Wendy, all the alt.binary Newsgroups are gone. It wasn't selective on
abpo. The rec.gardens newsgroups are fine. So when Cox decides to join the
pack all the abp newsgroups will disappear.

Well I haven't been affected yet, with Cox, guess it's just a matter of
time.
I still think this is a greediness for the not so almighty dollar!
Gary have you noticed anyone in your other NewsGroups that
have mentioned this or been affected? I have two other alt.binaries
groups & there has been no mention of it that I am aware of.

I will wait for Kye he will come through and in the mean time
we can still chat here.
Cheers Wendy

Since we've had the rug pulled out from under us and no way of fixing it,
we need to look for alternate solutions.
1. Some foresighted member can make a new site so we can talk and post as
we have in the past This would take time and money. I don't think most of
us would mind contributing to a good cause.
2. We all upload to our favorite picture site and post links to
rec.orchids which will probably be gone in a year or so and we'll be
right back where we were. Let's face it. All these do-good things the
Big-ISPs do is feel-good comunnity contribution and really doesn't make
them any money or get them any good press.
3. We can all hope Kye is a step ahead of us and things will be fine in a
week to so. It takes a lot of time to put one of these together. Oh, and
did I say money?
4. If we continue to not hear from Kye, we can all kiss each other on the
cheek and say "Nice knowing you. See you sometime soon."
Is there someone with the experience willing to put a site together with
community support?
