A friend of ours is looking into starting a new usenet news service. He has a ton of capital to build it up right from the beginning but he is looking for input from die hard usenet users. He is offering a month of free service to the first 7500 people who fill out
the survey. He plans to start it up in the middle of May. There is no obligation, just an opportunity to have input into the start of a new service. Don't forget to download the new 4.1 release if you haven't already. Support requests have been light so it looks like we've got a solid release. Details about the release and download link are
here.
