Bilge-How utterly hilarious! You pay $60 a month for two ISP's NOT to use their
news servers?
ROTFLMAO! Yeah pallie, you're a ****in' genius. My poor dumb ass pays 25
bucks a month, and am perfectly happy with what I get.


I believe the bill is about $40 a month for my cable connection; it is
bundled in with my cable TV service. I don't look at the bill details.
The vendor supplies "Supernews" or suchlike, and it is a good news
service, but the way the vendor has it configured is not to my liking,
so I don't use it often. But I do have it. I'll try to fire it up later
to see if it has changed. Not that I will.

I also have another ISP I use for dial-up when I travel. I've used this
particular dial-up for more than a decade to receive and send business
email while on the road, and it has always worked reliably for me. I
don't recall even looking at its news server offerings in many, many years.

As for what you do, that's your business...but you did offer a valid
explanation...you're a poor dumb ass, in your own words. I'm not.

Our conversations kind of remind me of my days of teaching bonehead
English...all those empty vessels to fill with thoughts...any thoughts.
