That isn't the end of Usenet. It means that it is no longer on Google. (There
are other Usenet providers. I don't use Google.) (There have been spam and
other bad quality messages coming from Google, so hopefully such messages will
be reduced since they will not come from Google.)

(I have a draft message to this newsgroup that I have recently started writing;
I have not finished it yet but will post it here once it is. It might or might
not be available on Google, though.)
