Tom is not everyone.  I was paying about $5/month for Supernews since
about 1998.  Generally good about everything including tech support. I
didn't see any reason to change for $60/year.  However, my last
exchange with their new tech support personality convinced me that
they would soon become a problem.  So, I went shopping for a new NNTP
service and ended up with individual.net for 10 Euros per year:
<https://news.individual.net>
I was going to switch to Eternal September, except that individual.net
had one big advantage.  When I posted something, and then polled for
new messages, the new messages would appear in a few seconds.  Unlike
most of the others, I didn't need to wait for a long time to see if my
posting was available.  Other than cost and this feature, I would say
Eternal September and Individual.net are about the same.
