Since Andrew's note commenting on the decline of r.g.b, there seems
to be no traffic. Have we all gone to BBO or what?

Google groups is showing new posts for rgb. I was going to give it
another couple of days before I really started worrying. Didn't want to
say anything because a) wouldn't be able to see replies without using
google which I don't find usable and b) didn't want to listen to the
snark about why everyone should use google.
I suppose its also possible that the problem is on google's end not
propagating posts to usenet proper, but Occam's razor suggests it is on
eternal-september's end.

And since GG has had many problems with Usenet over the years, I think
Occam's Razor suggests exactly the opposite conclusion.

speak up and we'll know who is at fault. There do seem to be a few
regular posters that fall in this category.

The service I use is Arcor and I have noticed that both messages sent and
messages received are incomplete.
There is a propagation glitch somewhere.

throwback to the days when one could account for every byte on one's
hard disk. They are so out of style they are coming full circle as
retro, like that very early game of video 'tennis' which could be
plugged into an ordinary TV set.

Right. No one can "buy Usenet", any more than someone could buy the
Internet. Usenet is just a bunch of independent service providers all
informally agreeing to distribute these messages to each other.
Deja News was a Usenet archive and search engine, and for a while that's
all that Google Groups was. Then they added the ability to post from
the web interface.
