I've been using usenet for about 15 years with various names. I just read
the announcement from AT&T that they are ending usenet services very

That sucks. But so does growing old in general. Still, quite often it

the alternative.
To all of those that I have chatted with over the years and whom I may
never
chat again, thanks. It's been fun.

Hello, and if that's so can't you find another ISP? Even if you don't
have access to usenet, there are other non-usenet ham radio forums and
discussion groups. For a long time usenet/nntp was the only game in town
but there are plenty of alternativies out there now. Sincerely, and 73s

I guess I was thinking that if AT&T withdrew their support of usenet, it
wouldn't be long until its lack of validation (usenet) by such a famous
leader in communications would encourage more and mother smaller companies
to follow suit, eventually leading to a lack of use and accreditation,
socially.
