Correct, because Usenet was provided free of charge (or so they
think); it was a freebie that they "threw in" when you paid your
monthly fee (which is for conectivity). So discontinuing a free
service does not entitle you to a rate reduction. Your fees don't go
down, because your fees are for connectivity. Anything else is just
Comcast "being nice". :-)

All politicians should have 3 hats - one to throw into the ring, one
to talk through, and one to pull rabbits out of if elected.
