Not as many users as you might imagine, apparently.
Some ISPs are deciding that selective group screening isn't worth the
hassle, no matter how minor, and are, in fact, dropping Usenet access
altogether.
Most ISPs see Usenet support as a money pit. It certainly can't be
identified as a profit center.
Once again, the almighty dollar wins out........with a little help from some
blue noses!
