AIOE and Eternal September are free (**read & post) Usenet servers still
in operation.  It looks like AIOE is back up and operating as of now.  I
am using their server to read your post.  I seemed to recall Eternal
September charges a one time setup fee like ten dollars, and never
another fee after that.  I know I have not paid again in more than a
decade of use.

There are a lot of read only Usenet servers.

I noticed you have an AOL email account, but I've never felt the need to
look at your headers and information to see where your posts appear to
originate from.
