I would hope this isn't the end of this group here. Thunderbird is a
free newsreader and like GG, it lists its posts in the order which its
posted. Eternal September is an excellent free newsserver that blocks
spam, much better than many others.

thunderbird is not news access. It is a news reader or a news client.

Google groups was originally a wonderful archive and www interface to
usenet. It was an historicially important archive that contained
decades of public knowledge and this is the death of dejanews.

That is sad and a blow to the public.

Thunderbird can also get the job done.

I had used Thunderbird for a long time to access this group (and others) until my ISP dropped support for newsgroup access several years ago. Since then I've used Google Groups. Going back to Tbird will be 2nd nature as long as I can find a decent server. I may try Eternal September first. Thanks for the reference.
