So do I, it's not necessarily a bad thing!

It certainly cuts a lot of the rubbish out of this group.

P.S. Apologies to any genuine posters who use Google and whose words of
wisdom I no longer get to see, my loss no doubt.

As do I. That's a feature of that server, not an issue.

And the rest of them.

Insignificant loss. See link in my sig.

Where have you been? This was on Comcast's web site about two weeks ago.

Can anyone reccommend a free newsgroup
service?

Start by looking in the appropriate newsgroup - alt.online-service.comcast.
This topic has been discussed quite a bit with a number of suggestions for
other NNTP services.

Not that many of us Comcasters hang out on their site. It was news to me
as to the exact timing; it's been in the cards for years.

Agreed this is not exactly a photo discussion. There's a nice list
posted by Mr. Romano.
