I don't know what it is with "jump.net" -- but with Texas.Net, what they want 
to do is either "can your account" or force you into an account costing several 
hundred dollars a month. So that's the alternative that Texas.Net give you. 
Quite a scam to skim money right off the top.

And with "jump.net" -- a problem with them is the allowance of "foged cancels" 
by the "industry-whore" (Censor-All Rosenthal). At least that's my 
understanding. If I'm not mistaken, this character "enthusiastically" supports 
the cancels of posters who criticize scammers like Texas.Net.

Yes, I know you hate complimenting one of those "censor" types, like Rat. He 
might have one thing right -- but he's got other failing grades.

Does your news server allow forged cancels? That promotes censorship
on content. A UseNet Death Penalty was issued because of my warning
about a crooked ISP -- ** Texas.Net ** -- cheating the customers.
Complain in a post to austin.internet about the UDP and censorship!!
