AT&T is touting upcoming changes in their Email service - to be powered by Yahoo. They don't say, but does Yahoo have a paid subs for newsgroups and that is why AT&T is dropping what they currently provide as part of their service? Just wondering. Henry

Have you written to them and asked if you can pay a reduced subscription for their reduced service? If no one complains, they will continue to treat their customers like dirt. Everyone who suffers these reductions in service should write to them to complain. Say you will be looking for an ISP that provides a full Internet service, and not a partial one. -- Steve Hayes Web: http://hayesgreene.wordpress.com/ http://hayesfam.bravehost.com/famhist1.htm http://www.geocities.com/Athens/7783/
