That is striking. Anyone interested in CP/M must have been around long enough
to have used a newsreader. So why did these people stop using one ? I can
think of various possibilities.

1. Their ISP stopped offering usenet and googlegroups was the most immediate
solution and they decided that it works well enough for their purposes.

2. They changed operating systems and couldn't be bothered to install a
newsreader to the new operating system. (How hard is it to install a
newsreader on Windows ?)

3. Their newsreader of choice stopped being maintained and couldn't be
bothered to find a new one.
