In Usenet terms, you can:

(1) complain to your ISP;
(2) use a different ISP;
(3) stop using Usenet;
(4) ignore the problem.

(1) is a reasonable course. So is (2). Nobody is suggesting (3). (4) is
what you are doing at the moment. This, too, is a not unreasonable course,
but it does mean that every single article you post breaches netiquette
conventions. Whilst this is perfectly understandable in your situation, it
significantly weakens your justification for criticising other people's
netiquette breaches.

Richard, are you sure he hasn't complained to his Usenet provider?
(It's not really an ISP, since it presumably doesn't provide his
Internet access.)

Chuck: If you haven't complained to your Usenet provider, please do
so. Mention that their interface is causing problems for others, not
just for you, and is likely to discourage others from using their
services. They can put all the advertisements they like in the header
lines.
