of users are from Google Groups.
What do you use for email? A lot of the clients have Usenet, such as
Thunderbird.
I wonder if Eternal September will get overwhelmed and disappear, requiring
one to pay for it. There are no good providers with sub-$5.00/month cost that
I can find. I had a $3.00 Supernews for years, but that is gone.
I suppose I could bring up a Usenet server and try to pull RSFC and
a couple of other groups, but I haven't tried to find Usenet peers for
more than a decade and don't even know if it is really possible....

the few others I still watch) from an NNTP feed, then provide a server
that people could use. I doubt that there will be a call for it,
but if there were, I could do it.
Hard to believe that after 34 years of Usenet use, it will be history
for me. I got my first feed from UIUC, then from UUNET, if anyone
remembers them. I ran news peers with C News, then INN, for a number
of years. All through the Morris incident, Sep 1994, rise of the
spammers (I wonder if Sanford Wallace is still alive) and the
corresponding cancelers. What a fustercluck.

outside of Linux. Thunderbird would work, of course. It looks like PAN
has a Windows client. Heaven only knows if Apple deigns to support
such things.
I'd give you a login to SSH in and use SLRN, if you wanted to do
what I do and use text-based. I assume you can still get Eternal
September accounts.
But I doubt the froup will survive, alas. Too big a blow. Now
we see the problem of having a sugar daddy. You become old and
unattractive like Usenet, and it's "Honey, there's the door."

How To Send Anonymous Email / Posts Manually
Sending manually eliminates the need for software on your computer which could have a backdoor!
These are the fundamental instructions to understand how remailer messages are created and this
will help you to understand how remailers work.
If you want to send an anonymous message, first of all create a file containing:
- two colon signs ( :: ) in the first line,
- the phrase "Anon-To: e-mail address" in the second line
whereby the e-mail address should be the address the remailer will send the message to.
The third line should be empty and the message text will follow.
For Usenet posts you must use: Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college or the target group.
For rec.arts.tv you would use: Anon-Post-To: rec.arts.tv and so on.
e.g.:
=============================================================
::
Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college
Write here your message
=============================================================
::
Anon-To: add...@example.org
Write here your message
=============================================================
Remailers only accept messages encrypted through PGP or GPG, so your message must be encrypted
with the remailer public key, which you can get by sending a message to the remailer
(mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org) and by entering "remailer-key" in the subject.
So the above message must be encrypted with the remailer PGP key and eventually sent to
mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org by entering two colon signs at the beginning of the message
and, in the second line, the phrase "Encrypted: PGP" followed by the previously encrypted
message.
=============================================================
From: j...@test.com
To: mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org
::
Encrypted: PGP
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
Version: 2.6.3i
owE1jMsNwjAUBH3gZMk9PClnUoBPUANpwElW2OBPZD8H0gd1UCP2gduuNDNfj
IcSHT4zCbQmtlbzGFM9T0jSD7QVvEzaPcUlBSSWHQclbnR9YWJNp5BFSLdR9s
CijF3NGxybry/1Rsqn4la3a0JiIhLvnYGCu9HFtiC8oIxnlkeuIYe+EH=HgDa
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
=============================================================
The remailer will decode your message and send it anonymously. If you want to include a subject
or other headers which shouldn't be filtered by the remailer, you can enter them as explained
below before encrypting the message for the remailer:
=============================================================
::
Anon-To: add...@example.org
##
Subject: Re: Twofish
In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 12 Jan 1999 22:47:04 EST."
<1999011302...@example.com>
Message text
=============================================================
Even if PGP encryption is very safe, using a remailer in the simplest way is not the best system
for protecting your identity. Therefore, you can tell the remailer, for instance, to keep the
message you've sent for a certain period of time and to forward it later so as to avoid the
so-called traffic analysis.
If you enter the header Latent-Time: +2:00, your message will be delayed by 2 hours, while if you
use the syntax Latent-Time: +5:00r, you'll have a random delay between 0 and 5 hours.
The best way to use a remailer is by using them in a chain, by sending a message from one remailer to
the other before it reaches your address.
Let's make an example with the above message:
=============================================================
::

::

-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
=============================================================
you can encrypt this message with the PGP key of another remailer (e.g. Dizum) and send the
encrypted message to this remailer: rema...@dizum.com
Thus Dizum will receive the message and decode it and will find the instructions to send it
to mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org, which in its turn will decode it and send it to
add...@example.org

How To Send Anonymous Email / Posts Manually
Sending manually eliminates the need for software on your computer which could have a backdoor!
These are the fundamental instructions to understand how remailer messages are created and this
will help you to understand how remailers work.
If you want to send an anonymous message, first of all create a file containing:
- two colon signs ( :: ) in the first line,
- the phrase "Anon-To: e-mail address" in the second line
whereby the e-mail address should be the address the remailer will send the message to.
The third line should be empty and the message text will follow.
For Usenet posts you must use: Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college or the target group.
For rec.arts.tv you would use: Anon-Post-To: rec.arts.tv and so on.
e.g.:
=============================================================
::
Anon-Post-To: rec.sport.football.college
Write here your message
=============================================================
::
Anon-To: add...@example.org
Write here your message
=============================================================
Remailers only accept messages encrypted through PGP or GPG, so your message must be encrypted
with the remailer public key, which you can get by sending a message to the remailer
(mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org) and by entering "remailer-key" in the subject.
So the above message must be encrypted with the remailer PGP key and eventually sent to
mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org by entering two colon signs at the beginning of the message
and, in the second line, the phrase "Encrypted: PGP" followed by the previously encrypted
message.
=============================================================
From: j...@test.com
To: mixm...@remailer.paranoici.org

The remailer will decode your message and send it anonymously. If you want to include a subject
or other headers which shouldn't be filtered by the remailer, you can enter them as explained
below before encrypting the message for the remailer:
=============================================================
::
Anon-To: add...@example.org
##
Subject: Re: Twofish
In-Reply-To: Your message of "Tue, 12 Jan 1999 22:47:04 EST."
<1999011302...@example.com>
Message text
=============================================================
Even if PGP encryption is very safe, using a remailer in the simplest way is not the best system
for protecting your identity. Therefore, you can tell the remailer, for instance, to keep the
message you've sent for a certain period of time and to forward it later so as to avoid the
so-called traffic analysis.
If you enter the header Latent-Time: +2:00, your message will be delayed by 2 hours, while if you
use the syntax Latent-Time: +5:00r, you'll have a random delay between 0 and 5 hours.

the other before it reaches your address.

I'm giving up all my google groups. I waste too much time on them as it is. I'm not going to pay for an alternative.

Why pay when there are plenty of options where you do not need to pay
