Anyone know of a free, anonymous, web-based usenet / newsgroup client?

I use groups.google.com, but they require a genuine e-mail address, which basically means my a/c gets spammed :(

I could have a dummy (spam) account, but if there is a free client (even one that allows me to stick a _nospam_ in my e-mail address, I'd appreciate it. :)

why web-based?

Xnews (http://xnews.newsguy.com/) is a great free usenet client but it's not web-based. Finding good, free, high-speed, anonymous servers is another matter entirely.

Because trying to configure a newsreader to get past a corporate firewall, when "they" don't want you to, can be tricky :)

Your employer doesn't want you participating in the largest open discussion forum there is? I can't imagine why. :lol:

Speaking of good, free, high-speed, anonymous servers, know of any?
