- I'm located in the US, and I pay to receive my newsfeed from a
- commercial source. I call long-distance to receive the newsfeed as well
- because there is not a local source. You have to remember that there are
- people who do not use 'rn' and who do not have the benefit of a free
- newsfeed. Please try to be considerate of us as well. I think the idea
- of messages pointing to postings in alt.pictures.misc is the best
- solution.
