Trust me this is not a lot of posts for an e-mail discussion group! I
get over 300+ a day in www.isp-wireless.com along! As for newsgroups it
seems for the most part that us techies are the only ones that use them.
Less ISP's (from what I read on the isp lists) are supporting them due
to the fact that people don't use them much like the free webspace they
get. The following was a post on the list.
"I run a small ISP here in Oklahoma, we offer it because with our Linux
server once we place them on our server they automatically get a home
page. I have only had 3 people use it out of 400 users..."
So ISP's are either outsourcing because not as many people request them
or use them along with shell accounts, webpage space and newsgroups.
Form the Isp standpoint Newsgroups take a lot of resources. Money,
hundreds of gigs worth of space...
