Re: [CGUYS] Newsgroup hosts?
Forte has a good service, at least when I used it...cheap too. When I still had cox, they had just started having a retention time of about four minutes, their newsgroups became useless.

[CGUYS] Newsgroup hosts?
I'd like to subscribe to the mozilla.support.seamonkey Usenet newsgroup, and the Cox news server (news.east.cox.net) doesn't carry it (Cox being my connection ISP). At least it doesn't appear when I list the newsgroups on that server. What's a good/best likely news server (free or low cost) that might have it? I like reading newsgroups using Forte Agent, and want to stick with that. Not use some alternative means such as a web interface. I'm a Luddite perhaps? I suppose I could request Cox to add it, but I doubt that they would be responsive.
