Hi all.

Thanks for the discourse over the years.

The journey has helped sharpened awareness to my strengths and weaknesses, so have grown much in that period.

I take it you're planning to not use
Usenet after Google shuts down it's
portal for new articles. You can easily
post here if you just get a news client
(I recommend Forte Agent or
Thunderbird).

In a previous article, I mentioned you
can get a Usenet client like Forte Agent
or Thunderbird to continue using Usenet.
Thunderbird is free. There's also a free
server called eternal-september:

https://www.eternal-september.org/

So there's no need for you to stop
posting here, if you want to. You can
still do it for free.

thanks, chaps,

I've got better things to do with my time.

Better things to do than study and tell
others about God?

While not directly evangelism, I am involved with Bible study groups, and prayer, and other forms of commitment and service at my church during the week.
Nothing beats face-to-face ministry rather than engaging in a newsgroup.

May "the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all."

Cheers.

Go for it and don't let anyone prevent you according to their own flawed
will.

You only have to do what the Lord leads you to do and to hell with those
imperfect religious people who seek to make you like them in their
self-glory.
