The NNTP server I use is individual.net at the University of Berlin. It 
had been free but then they started charging 10 Euros a year. No big deal 
but making the payment was painful. There was a European sort of Paypal 
called Click'n'Buy that always raised the red flags at MasterCard. They 
finally went to PayPal which saves all the fuss and bother but there is a 
transaction fee. On 10 Euros it's insignificant but it could be painful on 
larger transactions. 

It keeps me in tune with the European economy. It used to be around 15 USD 
but the last renewal was almost par. Soon it will be like when the Loonie 
was about 75 cents and you got a big wad of colorful Canadian money for 
$100, almost like free money. I always figured if I did the math for CDN / 
liter for gasoline I wouldn't be too happy.
