Intersting that it disappeared from Google Play.

I unregistered from Google Play a while ago and disabled all the Google
Play services, so I don't use Google Play, so I won't look it up to see if
it's truly gone (I assume others can do that).

Instead I just use my old APKs.

This is another lesson for having an automatic backup program which saves
all the APKs to your flash drive, in case they disappear over time you
still have them.

But, given how lousy the Usenet readers were anyway, you're better off on a
computer. If all you want to do is *read* the newsgroups. then creating a
link on your desktop to http://tinyurl.com/comp-mobile-android works well
enough.

NOTE: I'm not saying a browser link is a Usenet reader; but it works ok to
just catch up on the newsgroups if that is all you want to do.
