RoadRunner Co-Opting "Organization" Headers

Dusty Rhodes writes: "AOL-Time Warner cable Internet Provider RoadRunner has begun co-opting the 'Organization' line of Usenet headers, replacing whatever information a user enters with 'Organization: Road Runner - (location).' All RoadRunner customers nationwide, including business customers, have had their organization identity hijacked with no disclosure whatsoever, much less an opt-in or even an opt-out. Nothing in their TOS or AUP. Nada."

Teranews is a free newsreader (50 MB daily download limit on the free account). They require a credit card when you sign up, but their "FAQ" states: Due to the large amount of adult material in the newsgroups we must have a valid credit card on file, even if it's not charged, to verify that you are at least 18 years of age. If you signed up for a free account your card will NOT be charged.

I have not really used them, so I can't say much about them. But it may be worth checking out.
