Another dumb thing - paying for access to text usenet groups.

There are free usenet servers.  Have been for many years.

Again, too bad you know so little about usenet.

Point your usenet client to this server:

nntp.aioe.org

and subscribe to any number of thousands of available newsgroups.

No authentication required.  No username or password.  You can read and
post as you like.  You can change your posting identity at will.

Get a grip Robert.  I'm only trying to help - and to improve on the
dammage that google-groups does by encouraging people to make ugly posts
by defaulting to full-quoting and (now) double-spacing.
