Postings in news.announce.newusers.
That's ridiculous. One shopping for an ISP, without access to the Net, is not in a position to read a notice in a newsgroup. It makes sense that censorship and forgery advocates would also suggest means of hiding the truth. Again, if an ISP were to advertise "Newsgroups censored through forgery" -- in electronic, print and broadcast media, or wherever advertisements are placed or material made available to investors, then that would be "due notice".

Not quite. Most ISP's charge by the month and most give trail subscriptions with a free month or two weeks or whatever. One shopping for an ISP can sign up for three or four, and then cancel the lame ones. =====================================Kaos=Keraunos=Kybernetos============== .+.^.+.| Ray Arachelian |Prying open my 3rd eye.
