Bummer...RR to discontinue newgroup service

I don't hit the home page often but had to empty a mailbox, and saw this:

As of June 23, 2008, Road Runner will no longer offer Newsgroups, however 
users can subscribe on their own to third party News providers.
Why is Road Runner discontinuing their own Newsgroups service?
Due to low subscriber usage Road Runner has decided to discontinue 
Newsgroups service as of June 23, 2008.

If I still want a news service, what can I do?
Subscribers can choose to use a third party service and purchase on their 
own through that service. There are many providers with offerings, as an 
example here are several providers:

  a.. Easynews
  b.. Newshosting
  c.. UsenetServer
When is the last day that Road Runner Newsgroups service will be
available?
Newsgroups service will cease on June 23, 2008. 5/2008 4:55 PM
