There are alternatives, if you are still around to read this.
news.motzarella.org fits right into wherever you had
news.comcast.net, be it outlook express, thunderbird, or whatever.
It's free, it works just like comcast did, it's great. Don't go
away mad. And there are others too if you for some unknown reason
didn't like motzarella which would be screwy because it works so
well. But other are using other products that are free. Still
others are paying . You can get SOMETHING.

I don't think motzarella.org works all that well. I find that header
and article retrieval are rather slow, and their server seems to hang
for a few seconds ever few minutes. But it works well enough, and the
price is right.

Otherwise, I agree with everything you say. I'm continuing to look for
a free or low-cost news service, but motzarella will do for now.
