Giganews isn't real? I'm there because of their retention and that
they have nearly every newsgroup. I was with Uncensored News for
years but their retention was getting down to hours, if I didn't check
two or three times a day I'd loose messages because they'd have
expired, and ISP news servers aren't worth the trouble, between almost
no retention and only a few newsgroups.
