NBC: N.Y. attorney general forces ISPs to curb Usenet access

So far it's Verizon, Sprint and TimeWarner Cable.

The alt. groups, like us, are affected.  RMAS is not (since they are
not shutting down the rec. groups).

"The only Usenet newsgroups that Verizon will continue to offer
customers are the comp.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*, soc.*, and
talk.* hierarchies. Customers will continue to be able to connect to
other non-Verizon Usenet servers; no blocking is taking place.

Maybe we can become a rec group?  RMABS :) ?
