   Try  http://news.motzarella.org/   
      
   Free registration, free newsgroups (text only) including this one.   
      
   Just set up your email/newsreader program according to their   
   instructions (the same as you would have for Shaw or Rogers) and things   
   will be as simple as they used to be without the Google Group interface.
