Well, there's always Google Groups... <ducks> I've been using eternal-september.org (was motzarella.org until 2009年07月01日) since 2008年12月20日 when I dropped my Speakeasy line. I very rarely use it, and even then only for R.H.F, and so forth. It's text-only. I was going to say it has been working fine, and that's more-or-less true, but again I rarely use it. And when I just went to try it, all my subscripted groups were gone (all 5-7 of them). But that might be a side-effect of switching domain names or just a Thunderbird thing, so I'm not sure it counts. It's Usenet, it's free, it more-or-less works...
