AOL response to usenet inquiry

I understand from your recent e-mail that you have questions about the
AOL« Newsgroups.

The AOL Newsgroup service will be discontinued in February 2005.

For members using AOL over a dial-up connection, you will no longer be
able to access AOL Newsgroups.

If you have a separate high-speed connection, you can contact your
broadband provider to see if they offer Newsgroups.

Newsgroup services can often be accessed through a third party reader,
such as Mozilla Thunderbird
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/).

Alternatively, you can access Newsgroups via Google at
http://groups.google.com/.

We apologize for this inconvenience.

If you need assistance through telephone, you may call us at our
toll-free number: 1-800-827-6364. Calling early in the day usually
reduces the waiting time to speak to a consultant.

So lame. I dropped a small local ISP as soon as another came along that

painlessly, and filter all the
alt.binaries.freakish.bizarre.behavior.you.wouldnt .tell.your.mom.about
groups.

I canceled my AOL subscription.
It had become utterly useless, anyway.
Now they pester me to renew although I am on the no-call list.
I had to remind them of the fact.
My local library also does not allow newsgroup access either.
