"recommended many places"? WHO would do THAT, and where?
Don't pay attention to them, and don't go to those strange places. :-)
They don't carry all the newsgroups you might have interest in, they
restrict viewing and posting to some others, as you found out, and they
cooperate enthusiastically with law enforcement.
So DON"T tell them about the problem here, if you don't want to visit
bars that go vertically and don't serve good drinks. And don't drop the
soap!
Some recommended newsgroups providers are:
Easynews
Newscene
Astraweb
There are some others. Ask around if you want more recommendations, but
PLEASE, for your own safety, don't use Sensored-News.
Good luck,
Y Not
