Me, for one. Verizon dropped all their alt newsgroups a while back,
which didn't bother
me, but they just announced that they will be dropping all Usenet
newsgroups at the end
of September. Apparently they believe that we have newer ways to
communicate and
that Usenet has outlived its usefulness. There may be some truth to
that, and they're
helping.

Anyway, I've used Google before and for this newsgroup, it works pretty
well for me. I
don't want to pay for news service since I really only read this one
newsgroup. If you have
Google posts blocked, or you bitch every time you see one, well, I guess
I haven't
really been contributing all that much to rec.audio.pro lately so you
probably won't
miss me. But I won't go away easily.
