ThatArtGuy, you're certainly free to recommend NewsHosting if you like their service.
I want to make it clear, however, that my mention of Giganews wasn't intended as a recommendation.
Giganews offers a free trial, which might help trickbaxter form his own opinion about whether or not he prefers them.
Giganews claims 70 days retention, which influences my opinion about how long one ought to wait before reposting, even though I'm not a Giganews customer.
