It's not great that Comcast is killing the NNTP freebie, but it is surely not as dramatic as some seem to be making it out to be ...
Thank you for finally admitting it. Most here were merely pointing this out. Only a few are making a big deal out of it. There are just as many "cowboys" that call out all as whinners.

Go back a few pages pal... I stated the same(or something to the same effect) pages ago.
Perhaps reading the thread before posting would be advantageous to looking more in touch.

"No, wrong friend.
You and me and everyone else is losing out on 2GB per month filtered newsgroup access."


You apparently only read what you want to read.

I even linked you back to that post, 6 posts later, STILL on page 7:

I call them as I see them, always have.
There is a saying that is older than either of us...

"If the shoe fits, wear it!"

Cowboy? Me? Not quite.
Realist? Sure!

Please re-read the thread. Thanks!

I did read the whole thread before my first reply.

Your point all along is that people are losing something that is insignificant (to you) and hence everyone should feel the same way. My point from begin to end is that some people are losing something (the 2GB access to Newsgroup) that is meaningful to them, hence, it is understandable for them to vent.

Just because you and some others don't use the 2GB, it doesn't mean everyone don't use it. Several posters in this thread had already mentioned that they will miss those 2GB.

Have more tolerance in life.

Re-read your last post to me before the one I am responding to.
You apparently did not read the thread.
This is why I reposted the links for you.

You should have more tolerance as well friend - it *WAS* an added service and it didn't cost you or I anything.
So, it's going bye bye - nothing that you can do, is there?

Well, Thanks! Your posts have helped many here!
Now, if you're through, I will gladly help you get a new free newsgroup service.
It will be the same cost - NOTHING.
It might even endup faster and have a higher GB allowance.

Have a Great Afternoon!
