It's my understanding that Earthlink now shunts our accounts to their 
functioning successor service. At the end of the month I sometimes get a 
notice that I am about to exceed my limit of accessed messages, and I am 
offered a subscription purchase at an unattractive price. Since I only 
use my Earthlink news link for binary groups, I use text-only no-charge 
services (like news.gmane.org for this group) for my daily news fix. 
They keep me going all month long.


What is this stuff about stealing? Of course I confine my high-minded 
binary interests to opera music files, language-learning sound files, 
and great works of world literature. Just like you. It is so nice to 
make the acquaintance of another gentleman of the Old School.
