In the groups I read, verio carries an adequate number of messages. Yesterday I compared a day's worth of messages on one newsgroup on verio to newsranger.com: verio had many more messages. It was in fact complete, except for blocking Karl Denninger. I have also seen this phenomenon locally: No metroboyeh posts appeared on the ba. and scruz groups for quite a while, although other folks responded to him.
