Time-Warner corporate is dropping usenet news as of June 23, 2008.
Please help by asking them to keep it. The person to call works for the TW president:
Barbara Burroughs
phone 203-351-2281

Here is a copy of the email I sent:
I for one would like to applaud Time-Warner's decision to discontinue the
carrying of Usenet newsgroups. Since almost 1% of Usenet is possibly
dedicated to illegal activities, it's obvious that yours was the only
possible response.
Furthermore, I suggest that you take this another step. Since there is the
possibility of people viewing child porn and terrorist activities on the
World Wide Web, I suggest that you stop carrying this as well.
Also since it is a known fact that terrorists do communicate by email, this
service should also be discontinued.
I am sure that people would still be willing to pay for non-service, once
they are assured that you are doing your part to keep the world safe.
