News.Individual.net not free anymore

I, and a lot of other people posting to this particular group use
News.individual.net for access to it. As of April fools day the service
is going to charge a fee for access. Charging for the service in OK but
how does an Australian pay a German without using a credit card?

I think many people tight for a buck will simply go back to whatever
their ISP is offering or use Goggle. Either way, if you filter Goggle,
you won't see their messages and if you don't use Google and your ISP
doesn't think this group worth listing, the posts might lessen. Mine
will actually cease altogether... Stop the cheering, you're hurting my ears!

Get a friend with a credit card to pay for you!

I've now found that my ISP is carrying the group (because it is on the
approved list), so I've moved already. Perhaps you could ask your ISP
again?

I would miss your postings here.

Cheers,
David

ISPs usually don't have any issues in carrying comp.* newsgroups. Just ask
them...

Well, there we are! - if you hadn't spent (in your own words) 'the cost of
a small car' pursuing legal action against a Troll you might have been able
to have afforded the small cost of maintaining your individual.de account.

As it is, however..........bye, bye....

They made the change specifically to get rid of you. They know you want
them to be held responsible for your posts, so they figure you're not
worth it, but everyone else will just pay the 10 Euros.

I saw that the price is apparently 10 Euros a year... thats pretty cheap. Im
sure they will break down and take a check, its not like it wont have time to
clear the bank before April 1.

Probably the only sensible reply.
Almost done as I write.
Thanks Larry.

Not if they want the CC number for identification purposes.
