    I posted some years ago, but always enjoyed this forum and reading
    some very insightful comments on JRRT's work.

    I understand the forum getting shut down tomorrow, thanks people!

    It is only the Google Groups portal to this newsgroup that
    is getting shut down, which will mean less spam. You
    can still access this newsgroup via a newsreader such
    as Agent on Windows, Hogwasher on Mac, Pan on Linux,
    or the free Thunderbird (even if you don’t also use it for
    email) on all three, accessing a free newsserver such
    as Eternal September or Solani, or, if you want binary
    access, a paid newsserver such as Giganews.

    All that was shutdown was Google's portal.
    Get a real NNTP connection and you'll have access to every newsgroup
    a server you connect to carries.

    at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
