aioe has one particular lame rule that disqualifies them as being winner of
anything but the booby prize.
The rule to which I refer is the one that states only 25 post max per day
per ISP. So, if an ISP is large and maybe has 1000 customers surely five
or six of these might decide to try aioe. Maybe they'll get one or two post
to go and then they'll be cut off. Doesn't get much lamer than that!

Per ISP? Isn't it per _IP_?

I'm sure it is. But I'm amused by the notion that an ISP with 1000
customers is 'large'. (Even here in little old UK, the large ISPs count
their users in millions).

Works for me too.
It's much faster than Verizon's slow NNTP connection.
Since I have a 768K DSL connection I've never faced a
slow connection that was due to Aioe. Downtime, yes.
But, on the plus side, the spam filtering is much better.
Verizon is responding to the NY AG by banning all but the
big eight heirarchies. Alt.* is not considered one of them,
So I have shifted all my alt subscriptions to Aioe.

That's not how it works. It's 25 posts per IP address, not per ISP. He's
wrong and just putting down all free servers, so don't pay attention to him.

It's an example of Gregory Hall deliberately misinterpreting something
written by someone whose first language isn't English.
I'm surprise he hasn't anything of that axe left to grind.
