Another is Aioe.org - you don't have to register,
there.

As for channels, there is alt.test where you can send
messages, reply to them, and see what happens.

Other that that, my impression is that your (the OP's)
mental image of Usenet is that of the decline days,
with the binary groups creating havoc for the ISPs and
all. It isn't like that - relax.

And check out my "fan" page:

Don't say that: read the documentation for
`ispell-message'!
