Many major ISPs aren't peering usenet anymore. The excuse given is that
they wanted to stop distribution of kiddie porn in the binary groups, so
they killed ALL groups. Truly ironic, as usenet should be text only. So a
better idea would have been to just kill all the binary groups that don't
belong on usenet anyway...
Result is, traffic to all TEXT usenet groups is down (by my estimate) at
least 90%.
If you ask me, it is an attempt to kill free speech, using "it's for the
children" as a lame excuse. -Dave
