This is a valid point.  However, these questions should be addressed to 
Verio directly.  In everything that I've seen, Verio does not use Usenet 
as an official communications channel.  However, it would be nice if
users can talk about things, but there's no reason it needs to stay
on these decrepit servers.  (see below)

Best [har har] as a mailing list, IMHO.

Christopher Knight has the 'besties' mailing list, which can be used
for this purpose.  Some of you reading about this are probably already
subscribed.

Send email to majordomo@besties.com with 'subscribe besties' in the BODY
of the message.

Take care,
