Luckily for those who like Usenet, there are free servers around that 
they can use. However, there is no reason to believe that they'll be 
around forever. If ever the people running Eternal September decide to 
stop their operations and paid servers become the only game in town, I 
doubt that Usenet will have even the number of users it has today.
