Looks like my USENET server (Newscene) is going out of business soon.

Who do you like ? Besides Google Groups if that still even really
works.

Thanks,

It\'s not that hard actually, I only allow access to my country, oncve
every few months I check the BGP tables and modif access lists as
required, it really takes little time, and the filtering rules set up
years ago do a pretty good job of stopping the crud entering from peers,
I also block html wankers and the free.* groups, our news server is
pretty much self maintained.

How do you get your feed ? How is that usually done ?
