#278356 — Group is officially dead.

I guess. It's been fun.

posts originating from Google Groups and recommend you do likewise. I
also block (can't see & won't reply to) posts from the nym-shifting
troll calling itself "»Q«".

Somebody (here?) used this sig recently and it stuck in my head:
"Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers and
having to visit 10 different newsstands to pick up each one. USENET is 
like having all of those newspapers delivered to your door every 
morning."

Used to be.  Everybody also presumed professionalism was de facto the
way one conducted oneself;- USENET was first regulated within a
privilege of universities, neither open to the public, generally, nor
to interests of industry and advertising. When that changed, due to
political decree, (USENET faculties were owned by government and
granted to selected universities), familiarity changed into a lapse
for the commonplace. Things weren't working out -- such as beggars out
of a fringe that figured out to set a likes of unattended computers in
their basements to incessantly spam USENET and the WEB.  The People
left and moved wholesale into provisions from a likes of Facebook and
privately sponsored forums, a cushion of isolationism therewithal to
identify more of themselves in exchange for a sense of worthier
identities: anyone then not towing a given party line, in need of
being clicked, could be conveniently labeled a terrorist, spammer or
disseminator of fake news.  

. . .As with anything that only can get better, once Windows 10 and a
modification of what a password means to government and industry
intent on a greater lock on licensing identities, for not just some
but on all users.

err... it should have said  "USENET is like having all those newspapers
and every stray flyer from the newsstand delivered to your door,  not to
mention any and all assorted cat pooh picked up on the way."

That was me. I've been using that sig for quite a while.

Web based forums are like subscribing to 10 different newspapers

Email list-server groups and USENET are like having all of those

Sorry for the inadvertent thievery: it seemed particulary apt.

I didn't consider it thievery at all.  Feel free to spread it around
and/or adopt it as your sig. It sure would be nice to see USENET
survive.

It fell on hard times when Son of Spy and Blinky the Shark  (and a few
others) were gone... now 87.274% are using 'smart phones' and want

No... not dead, but much weakened.
