Google dropping Usenet posting - Goodbye AFSM?

[Motterman]

With the recent news that Google is dropping Usenet posting support next month, I just wanted to send in one final post here as I can't see paying for usenet access in the future to contribute anything, and we'll still be able to stop by and peruse all of the Absolute Legends that used to post here over the years...
