See another post (the one I tagged as a piggyback to another of my posts
in one of the Crap threads. I sent that from motzarella.org; this

I dunno. :)

My primary, news.individual.net is a pay account, but it's US$14 a *year*.

It doesn't have binaries, but that's okay with me. Other than that it's
full-service. And has very responsive support -- I've reported a couple
newsgroup floods and seen an email reply and new filters kicking in within
minutes, for example.
