    Verizon has announced they're dropping alt.* among others.

    If you want to request they reconsider, here's the contact:

    this is apparently in response to New York pressure to cut down on
    child pr0n.

    Horseshit. They're using that excuse to cut costs.

    The two reasons together were too much for them to resist, apparently,
    but they could still do it smarter, keep a few light weight text-only
    groups like this one.
