In their "infinite wisdom" my ISP (verizon) has decided to cut everyone
out of the "alt.*" lists in lieu of giving us "the big 8"
http://www.big-8.org/

Does anyone know of a way to maintain my access to this group short of
subscribing to yet another greedy company that will take my money and
not provide the service? (Yeah, I'm just a little upset.)

If not, while I've contributed little, I've enjoy this group of people
and the photos, tremendously and I'll miss it.

Feel free to respond by email if you any ideas and adesire to share them.

Thanks,
~~Richard
