Can somebody explain to me what's so great about myspleen over usenet that offers so many advantages over myspleen IMHO, apart from having a pay a little bit for usenet access?

I think it just comes down to money. Not all ISPs offer Usenet access (e.g., Verizon stopped in 2008ish) and BitTorrent is a free alternative, despite being clearly inferior for sharing tremendous files.

I don't mind paying the monthly fee for my premium usenetserver.com account. I get enough value from it that I just consider it to be a part of my ISP bill.
