individual.net, 10 euro a year.

astraweb, $10 for 25GB, take as long as you want to use it.

octanews, $8 for 8 GB,  take as long as you want to use it.

forte APN, makers of Agent, $2.95/month.

motzarella.org, free.

The first four I know for sure carry the group. I recommend individual.net,
but you must post with a valid email address. next would be octanews,
followed by astraweb, and I'd go for forte's APN offering absolute last, and
only if I were insane. Forte use supernews and it's a very tightly filtered
service, almost to the point of being useless. Supernews will block your
posts to alt.test if their spam filters think you're spamming.

Don't thank me; just fuck off and die. Horribly. Thanks.
