I should have left already a while ago but Google groups made it too easy and once in a while there was a subject worth while engaging in but that only lasted a couple of posts. Now Google Groups will be discontinued and to be honest there is nothing that motivates me setting up an other server/reader. To all the reasonable people ' all the best' and to the rest 'get a life'. Nothing in life is just black or white.

Lou, I'm on Strava

Ditto. I considered getting a newsgroup reader but if I were to Killfile the trolls and ignored the off-topic posts and thread hijackings there would not be much to read. Just not worth the troubel for me.

I hope those who remain stay healthy.

May your punctures be few and the wind always at your back.

Cheers

Sorry to see you go. If you're an emacs user there is always gnus,
which I find quite congenial. Not worth learning emacs for, though.
