* Jay R. Ashworth:
Opinion pieces in Wired and AG's grandstanding by throwing babies out with bathwater notwithstanding, a query from a cow-orker caused me to wonder: is there still anyplace to get a Usenet feed from these days that isn't {Giga,Super,etc}News? I want to pull maybe 30 or 40 tech groups into my own server for the 5 or 6 people in my IT group.
You should be able to get the Big 8 (without any binary junk) fairly easily. Finding someone who manages your subscriptions using GUP (or even manually *gasp*) could be more difficult, though, so receiving a subset is likely not an option. (I haven't got a Big 8 feed to offer, I'm sorry. The regional ISP I use offers an NNTP feed managed by GUP.)
