AT&T Usenet Netnews Service Shutting Down
In a previous article, "Ash Wyllie" said:
Sam Spade opined I suspect ISP administrators look at all the obscene trash and name-calling that goes on in unmoderated Usenet groups, and conclude, "Why should be serve as a portal to this trash?" Which is too bad. Text based newsgroups are fast, cheap, and easy to read. Not to mention the fact that they're all there, one login, one user interface, no need to go hunting all over the net for one web site about piloting and another about kayaking and another about programming. -- Paul Tomblin http://blog.xcski.com/ Knuth is definitely the ******* something from hell. I just admire him from a distance, it's safer. -- Peter da Silva |
