I'm seriously considering doing that, although I don't want to lose my e-mail address. I've had the same one for 10 years. The way AOL did newsgroups was one of the main reasons I stayed with them. Although AOL's really not that bad once you beat it into shape. I just went to DSL from dialup so I have an alternative, but I'm not sure that BellSouth is an improvement. Everytime I go to the BellSouth startup page (now replaced with Google Groups) it tried to install spyware on my computer (prevented by Spybot Search and Destroy). And a forum on BellSouth DSL has a lot of complaints about BellSouth and newsgroups. I really don't like the way Google Groups works. I can't tell what I've read or not.
