Don't confuse a feed with an guest account.  NIXPUB list places
endusers can get accounts. Many, many, other places may grant you feed
access. This is essential to the 'good neighbor' policy that underlies
the net.

To find one, start with the map entries for your area. Some
people say they will give feeds in the comments. Also, check
with system admins @ university sites in your local calling
area. 

All this is helped by being on the net already. I know that
sounds like catch 22.... Not only can you find names to contact,
but if you are somewhat active, and not JEDR, JJ or otherwise
Internetfamous ;-}, your good name will proceed you.


Good Luck!
