I have sent the following to Verizon. I hope more do the same. They are eliminating access to all but 8 supergroups.
Why are you deleting perfectly good newsgroups from your service? I routinely access the following" alt.autos.jaguar alt.autos.subaru alt.engineering.electrical alt.ham-radio alt.os.linux.ubunt rec.radio.amateur.homebrew If my access is denied, I will encourage my Senate and House delegations to enact legistation that will restore my legitimate access to these groups. I think the last thing you would want is more legislation on your networks.
