As of sometime PST tomorrow, February 22, 2024, Google
Groups will stop updating its archive of Usenet newsgroups
including this one, though searching of the archive before
then will still be available.
It is only the Google Groups portal to this newsgroup that
is getting shut down, which will mean less spam. You
can still access this newsgroup via a newsreader such
as Agent on Windows, Hogwasher on Mac, Pan on Linux,
or the free Thunderbird (even if you don’t also use it for
email) on all three, accessing a free newsserver such
as Eternal September or Solani, or, if you want binary
access, a paid newsserver such as Giganews.
