    Of course. :)

    The most noticeable change when Google shut down that bridge was that
    USENET all of a sudden no longer had a spam problem.

    Hi Claus,

    Yes I still check the novaBBS for transputer news and discussions. It
    was very easy to register and setup an account so that I can post on the novaBBS.

    To help interested transputer users, I've replaced the non working
    google comp.sys.transputer with the novaBBS link on my home page of my transputer website so it makes it easy for everyone to find and link to
    the latest comp.sys.transputer new and discussions.

    Agreed 100%. Good Riddance to Google on Usenet.
