The sad thing is...

Thousands of voters will actually believe that Cuomo did something to eliminate kiddy porn from the internet.

I use newsgroups for access to Microsoft and Adobe users groups. Instead of getting it from Verizon I now have to subscribe to a private provider because VZ removed all groups except some stupid junk ones. It cost me $10 for 30gigs, so it's no big deal.

I am sure that anyone seriously into illegal kiddy porn did not use Verizon or ATT newsgroups anyway. They subscribed to a third party because it is pretty well anonymous.

As I understand it, you can get those groups for free direct from the respective sources; they have news servers at:

msnews.microsoft.com
adobeforums.com (also forums.macromedia.com)

because VZ removed all groups except some stupid junk ones.
While I understand and share your resentment, this was a silly thing to say. The Big 8 groups are the core of Usenet.
