For the past three days, I've tried (and failed) to get into Nova BBS.
Looks like I won't be posting to the '50s group anymore.

It gets worse.
Yesterday Nova in its wisdom decided it would be a good idea to refuse
my password so tho i can still access it (in a long and arduous way) I
can't now make any kind of new post .

They can't see your suggestion.
I told them there are inexpensive usenet servers out there but...it's
really hard to start paying for something you've always had for free.

There's a lot they can't see.
But they are getting very little to nothing for "free."

Me, too.
And for the record, I just took on a $490-a-month car payment (for the next >six years). As such, I need all the free stuff I can get!

Electric or Hybrid, Dean?

Dean and I are getting everything we need for free with this newsgrouper.org. It's just that it's not available in the UK so Roger needs to do something else.
I bought that car the first weekend of June, at the beginning of my annual month------------
long vacation. I broke it in by driving from Connecticut to Niagara Falls, across
southern Ontario to Detroit--where I visited the Motown Museum--then south to Ohio
to see my cousin and her five grandkids (ages 4-11). From there, I drove home through Pennsylvania and New York.
I put 3,000 miles on that Corolla the first month I had it!
