I am a Verizon DSL customer and have used my access to this and a few other groups to resolve my own and other problems with both Quicken and TurboTax. Verizon has bowed to pressure born by NY State Attorney General and has announced it will drop access to all alt. news groups effective June 24,
2008. I know I can subscribe to pay for service, or switch to one of a few free services, but none are as convenient as is the Verizon feed. Several cable ISP services have similarly announced they will drop the alt groups. I wonder how many of the regular contributors to this group are similarly impacted by this "Denial of service".- posted
