    Hi badgolferman,

    First off I’m not badgolferman you dingbat. For someone who thinks so
    highly of their alleged acumen you can’t even bother with attribution. Secondly why did you have the urge to add a bunch of newsgroups except to masturbate in front of as many people as possible?

    He's an extremely obsessive public masturbator. Perhaps the biggest one
    on all of Usenet.

    In addition, Google???s Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP) server and associated peering will no longer be available, meaning Google will not support serving new Usenet content or exchanging content with other
    NNTP servers.

    This change will not impact any non-Usenet content on Google Groups, including all user and organization-created groups. Most of the current Google Groups content is not Usenet content and will not be affected.

    The note on the Google page I'm using to read and post in this group says Feb 15.

    Every body here and on the Mac group has been so helpful so maybe I'll look for another way to get to Usenet.

    https://www.eternal-september.org is free.

    Note that I cut those other newsgroups. I don’t know what your major malfunction became nor do I care. Maybe Arlen enabler.

    You are one of the few on my Whitelist of Google users.

    Use Solani or Eternal Spetember with a client like Thunderbird or others:
