Just received a notice from Verizon that starting June 24th all but the
big "8" (which doesn't include ALT) will be blocked.

Here is a excerpt from their email:


Dear Verizon Online Customer,

As a Verizon Newsgroup service user, we wanted to let you know about some
important changes that we will soon be making to our Newsgroup service.


Dear Verizon!

I wanted to let you know about some important changes that i will be making
for my ISP.

Your services are no longer required! :-)

Regards

A paying customer.
