I seriously doubt Databasix would give you anything besides an account.
While I strongly dislike the fact you could get one, I understand the
reasoning and concepts behind the server.

Not Rhonda, but

From $2.95 per month
(yes, carries binaries)

In the grand scheme of things, Motzarella goes down more often than the
commercial servers, and if it doesn't lose all that many posts,
sometimes they take longer to arrive. Individual.net rarely goes down
and it never misses a post. Neither one carries binaries.

At the moment, I have acounts with DataBasix, Altopia, Datemas,
Motzarella, NIN and X-Privat, so that's my current personal basis for
comparison in this discussion.

If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will
scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will
refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something
which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he
will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is
explained in this way. - Bertrand Russell

I don't know how you evaded my filters, but you can be sure you're going
straight back into my killfile, dip****.

Also, I note that you are not posting from DataBasix now.

Yes, I know. I'm just making it clear so you don't accidentally

See above. We'll gladly defend your ability to post as long as you

Yep. That's very clear. In fact, that's what I said to the

someone to sue us over you.

There are more than a thousand usenet providers. Some of them are quite
good, some suck.

reasonable one time price of $25, and after 3 years still have about
85 gigs left to go. They definitely have the binaries.
