I was tidying up my Pluto Mail Inbox today and came upon the following
which I'd received a while ago and intended to post about earlier, but
forgot.

I don't know how many folks here use this news service, but just in case
you do, and have not heard... (Plenty of time left).

I got the same notification a few weeks ago. Pity to lose it, but there is 
a free alternative - details at http://www.eternal-september.org/ .

Hopefully they will keep it going.

In my opinion one of the best news servers I've used at a very
reasonable price. They even have the decency to keep it running for 2
more years.

I wonder if it'll still be running in 2 years time.

I run a news server but you'd have to sign up to my bulletin board to
get an account, for now, until I can figure out web registration type
stuff. I don't carry binaries but I have something like 12 million
articles and don't expire.

You can telnet to endofthelinebbs.com to setup an account then drop me
a message and I'll turn on usenet for you. Best to use a client like
SyncTERM.

All things being =, we do have it until the 30 September 2027.

I already have ...eternal-september... as my secondary news provider, so
it won't be a problem here.
