I pay for my usenet feed, but I'd be the first to admit it's not
really worth it. It has the benefit of uptime; I think that in the
however-many-years (10+) I've been a customer the number of times the
service has been down could be counted on a single hand that's been
involved in a thresher-accident. The immensely long archive of old
posts -spanning twenty+ years- is a nice feature too. But it's not
really worth the price for how I use Usenet (e.g. non-binary stuff)
and it's mostly inertia that keeps me from switching to a free
service.

 Considering the lack of traffic these days I really could not justify
that.

I think I saw someone mention one that was just $10 a year for text groups, I'd pay that if it came to it, as long as this group is around anyway
