To each their own... while Panix is fairly relaxed as a shell host, I prefer to not have someone else telling me what I can and can't install or use, especially when I'm paying. To be honest I can't SSH out from work anymore, so the remote connections / static IP is somewhat of a moot point. What I was trying to say was I don't get the point of paying for an account on a provider clear across the country simply for the sake of getting Usenet access... especially when more and more large institutions are shutting theirs down (i.e. the death knoll for usenet as others have pointed out). Perhaps it would count for 'geek' points, but I'm not too worried about that ;)
