    Another web interface to newsgroups is
    https://newsgrouper.org/
    which allows you to read (as guest, or if you register)
    and post (if you register) to all 26977 newsgroups
    carried on the Eternal September newsserver.

    From the site:

    "Note that as a guest, logging out will forget your history
    and preferences, so when you return it will not be possible
    to show what postings are new since your previous visit.
    As a registered user you can log out without losing your

    David, thank you very much again for finding this. And for
    finding www.novabbs.org which I have used many times,
    or more specifically... https://www.novabbs.com/interests/thread.php?group=alt.buddha.short.fat.guy ...which takes us immediately to the group.

    We are an endangered species. We dwindle and wither, like
    the Last of the Mohicans. Having backup for Eternal September
    is becoming ever more important.

    My other provider for Usenet access, Earthlink, announced last
    week that it is closing down its Usenet facility on April 1.

    Thanks again.

    I watched the first episode of the new CNN docu-series about Twitter
    last week. It's funny watching those propeller heads gush over their
    miraculous invention when a superior message platform was around all
    along.

    Yes, when you are on a page for a group you can click
    on Find Articles and then search either at
    BlueWorldHosting 2013--present or
    The Internet Archive 1987--2003 .

    Also, for posts before February 23, 2024 you can
    use groups.google.com .

    novabbs.com also allows searching, but doesn’t carry
    all the groups, and doesn’t go back a long way.

    Get with the times.
    Newts and Bats have been relegated back to vermin to save money.

    Treasury accused of ‘being nasty’ to bats in pursuit of growth

    Councils’ planning officers will no longer be told by Natural England to read bat protection guidelines, in a shock to conservationists

    Environmentalists have accused the government of “being nasty” to bats and wrongly suggesting that the animals are holding back economic growth.

    As part of chancellor Rachel Reeves’s “radical shake-up” of red tape to promote growth, officials said on Monday that guidance on protecting
    bats will be looked at afresh.

    “It should not be the case that to convert a garage or outbuilding you
    need to wade through hundreds of pages of guidance on bats,” the
    Treasury said in a statement.

    The regulator Natural England will drop its requirement for planning officials at local authorities to read guidance documents produced by
    the Bat Conservation Trust, The Times understands. The charity said the change was a “shock”.

    Doug Parr, the policy director at Greenpeace UK, said: “For some reason, [the] UK government has decided the route to growth is being nasty to
    bats. Creating a false enemy in regulations that protect bats is both a distraction, ineffective and morally wrong.”

    Bats have been a focus of ministers’ claims that environmental rules are holding back development, after a £100 million bat tunnel was built for
    the HS2 rail project. Parr said that was a misrepresentation. “Aside
    from being wonderful and valuable creatures, the economic disaster of
    HS2 was very little to do with bat protection. [There were] many
    failings right at the top management of the project,” he said.

    Kit Stoner, the chief executive of the Bat Conservation Trust, said: “It was a shock to hear that government proposes removing reference to the
    bat survey guidelines. These guidelines, covering our 18 UK bat species,
    were developed over months in collaboration and consultation with many
    bat experts in both the ecology sector and government agencies.”

    She said it was “inconceivable” that any reference to the guidance was removed without consultation and said they were “not an instruction manual” but helped with “good practice”.

    In reality, The Times understands, most councils will continue to read
    the guidance to avoid breaching the law — the habitats regulations.

    In recent weeks senior government figures have blamed several species
    for development hold-ups.

    Sir Keir Starmer was last week was accused by the Kent Wildlife Trust of
    a disappointing “oversimplification” after he claimed that a colony of distinguished jumping spiders had led Natural England to block 15,000
    new homes in Kent.

    Richard Benwell, the chief executive of Wildlife and Countryside Link,
    an alliance of dozens of environmental groups including the National
    Trust, said: “Anti-nature rhetoric risks wrecking months of work between government and nature charities. The chancellor may want to look tough,
    but picking an unnecessary fight with nature and the millions of people
    who love nature is completely counterproductive.”

    Green groups have so far stopped short of mobilising their members over
    the government’s rhetoric about nature, though the head of the RSPB
    warned Reeves’s and Starmer’s language was “simplistic and divisive”.

    Environmental regulations remain in Reeves’s crosshairs. On Monday the government described them as “not fit for purpose” to help nature or economic growth. Officials are expected to launch a consultation in the
    next month on dropping the requirement for developers to obtain
    environmental permits for “low-risk activities”. Details of the exempt activities are expected to be published next week.

    Marian Spain, chief executive of Natural England, said: “Housing and
    nature are not competing interests. Sustainable development and nature recovery must go hand in hand, but the current planning system is not working.

    “We are working with the government to ensure their ambition to grow
    nature and grow the economy go hand in hand for the benefit of
    everybody. This includes ensuring guidance is fit for purpose and moving toward better strategic planning to secure environmental improvements
    while development takes place.”

    God you Brits can write about anything. And TONS of words.
    Use an AI ferchrisake.

    My bat-karma is absolutely blemish-free. I built a bat-house
    for some friends on the coast several years ago. It has been
    well populated, off and on, during that time.

    It can house up to 80 bats, although the most I've ever counted
    in it is two dozen.

    When I was very young - back in the age when cities used DDT
    to spray the trees during mosquito season - I nursed two bats
    back to health, at different times, after they fell from the
    trees, paralyzed by the drug. And released them back into the
    mean old world.

    So my bat relations are undoubtedly permanently inscribed in
    the Akashic Chronicles of the Bat Kingdom.

    You appear to be connecting from an IP address in the United
    Kingdom. Unfortunately this site is no longer available to
    UK users. This is due to the requirements of the UK's Online
    Safety Act, which are not practical for this site to comply
    with. If you feel this is unjustified, I can only suggest
    that you write to your Member of Parliament.
    For more information see Ofcom's official site, and an

    Other web interfaces to Usenet are available, and may
    continue to allow UK users, see Wikipedia.
