Question:
I can get a new email address/server etc but using Thunderbird what
usenet server should i use? Most will allow you to read but not
post.

What do others use ? (other than those bound up with OE or dreadful
things such as AOL


My back ups to NIN a Motzarella, Albasini, and PlusNet (my isp)and
there's another one but only allows you 25 posts per day. Still
useful as a backup tho.

.... and I've seen nobody mention x-privat.org, a free news server I use
sometimes. It has a limit of 10MB a day, an absolutely huge amount for
text-only newsgroups.
