Discontinuance of Newsgroup Links by AOL

Jan 25, 2005 4 Replies

Guys:



I still use dial up on AOL and they are discontinuing the newsgroup service link to this and other groups.



It states that a link to this group is available through Google. If someone has it bookmarked, drop me a line with the URL and I'll bookmark it.



Otherwise, you won't see me around. LOL (because I can't get here).



Thanks,

Well, now there's one more reason to drop A(ssholes)O(n)L(ine) and move to another ISP, eh?

In the meantime, you can access the group through the web via

Those aren't quite the same as a regular news client, but hey....they'll serve in a pinch, anyway...at least until you switch ISP's. ;)

One of the reasons I quickly dropped MSN as an ISP a couple of years ago is because they don't provide news service. Of course neither does Juno (that I use for "on the road" access) but SBC/Yahoo provides a server with my DSL service that I can use from anywhere. So it's no big deal for me.
