   For CSA2 access I use Eternal September (which is free, although I send   
   them a donation from time to time). I use Thunderbird on Windows 10 for   
   both usenet and email reading.

   One effect will be that people like you that found CSA2 through Google   
   Groups will not know of its existence. That's sad.   
      
   But the main effect will be less spam on all usenet newsgroups as I   
   believe most of it originates on Google Groups.
