His ISP dropped USENet. So, he's looking for alternates.

He's still kicking, and as usual, raising dust.

He'll be back, bright and shiney, as soon as he gets a new news
server configured.

I recommended Eternal-September, as well. Been on it for about a
year, myself, without issues.

So, he's got options. Google is less than a practical solution,
because of the graphics on the pages. As I recall, he's on a dial-up.

Then, again, he may be in no hurry, either. I took more than a
year off of USENet, myself.
