Sky Broadband News Server/Usenet??

Hi
Thinking of going over to Sky Broadband, does anyone know if they
provide a free usenet (news server?
I know BtYahoo broadband do news.btinternet.com, but SKY customer
service are unable to tell me, perhaps its too technical for them!!!

Does anyone know of any other ISP which provides this service(free news
server) aswell?
Thx

In answer to your question, no server, but you can get one for a few quid a
year or less - see a post titled ' Sky News Server', dated 01/11/06, 22:09

If you just want text, you can buy a 2 gig non expirin block for just
over 100 pennies.

Exactly the said same question asked last week on here.
I'm sure even someone on googlegroups can find the answers

It would be helpful if you provided a Google groups URL to the answer.

Not everyone is as skilled on usenet and GG as you clearly are.

Dave Fawthrop <dave hyphenologist co uk> Google Groups is IME the *worst*
method of accessing usenet. GG subscribers would be well advised get a
newsreader, say Agent, and a newsserver, say news.individual.net. These
will allow them: to see only *new* posts, a killfile, and other goodies.

That is a fair point.

BUT I bet the OP is quite capable of using that thing next to his
keyboard, I think they call them a "mouse", if her were to use that
and left click on that scrool bar on the right of his screen, he would
have been able to view the hears of the last few days.

Even easier would have been to use the scroll wheel that nearly all
modern Mice have built in nowadays.

No doubt, that is far to technical for most people too!

Sadly a mouse will not help with my typos, though!
