what happened to comp.lang.oberon ?

[rugxulo]

I realize this is a bit of a silly question, but since Modula-2 and Oberon are closely related, I figure I'd ask here.

What happened to news://comp.lang.oberon ??

I think it still exists, but it hasn't shown up (for me, in Google Groups) in ages, and I don't know why.

"Banned content warning

Sounds unlikely. Worse is that there's no one to ask officially, no way to find out for sure. So I keep wondering and wanting to ask *someone*.

Any ideas?

Nothing happened to it, it's still there.
That's what you get for using google instead of a news server.
