I've been in cantact, he lost his usenet provider, and the one I am
using does not seem to accept new registrations any langer.

I was suspecting that much. What made me worrying is that almost at the
same date he stopped posting on RWT forum.

Eternal September does not accept new registrations?
I think, if it is true, Ray Banana will make excception for Mitch if
asked personally.

www.usenetserver.com is priced reasonably. I've been using them
for well over a decade now.

I have been happy with http://news.individual.net/. 10 euro/year.

Eternal September still accepts new users. What they don't support is
shrouding your email address other than using ".invalid" as the
domain. It's trivially easy to figure out the real addresses, so for
users who care about address hiding, ES would not be a good choice.

However, Mitch has tended to use his own name for his addresses in the
past, so I doubt he cares much about hiding. ES is free (0$) so
somebody who can reach him ought to mention it.
