What do you use for email? A lot of the clients have Usenet, such as Thunderbird.
I wonder if Eternal September will get overwhelmed and disappear, requiring one to pay for it. There are no good providers with sub-$5.00/month cost that I can find. I had a $3.00 Supernews for years, but that is gone.
I suppose I could bring up a Usenet server and try to pull RSFC and
a couple of other groups, but I haven't tried to find Usenet peers for
more than a decade and don't even know if it is really possible....

You could start a second FB group that allows all discussions. (the one now is supposed to disallow politics, though it is not usually enforced)

$50 buys 1000G on Astraweb. That's a ton of usenet use.
I still use Forte Agent 4, works with all versions of Windows, but
have to search to find free version now. Agent 9 is excellent but is
$29 now, I think
Xananews looks great and is free, Pan looks good as well and is also free.

Eternal September has been flaky lately. Been seeing a lot of out of
sequence post delivery where I see the replies before the original poast,
or never see the original poast. It was making rsfc unusable for me so I stopped for a while. But checking in now it *seems* to have been resolved. We’ll see

If someone would give me an airplane ride I'd get a subscription and
pull RSFC and put up a Usenet server.... :)
If you’re referring to me I sold my plane this past summer and gave up flying, at least for now. No specific reasons just felt like I’d done all I wanted to do with it and wasn’t enjoying it enough any more to justify the cost and effort.
Maybe after a few years away I’ll get the itch again and re-take it up.

Just add .narkive.com/ to the end of the group you're googling for.
For general everyday sending email you should be using tuta.com encrypted email.
"END TO END ENCRYPTION"
This is not about making money, this is about telling people to use end to end
encryption when sending email. Get off Hotmail and Gmail and other like them as
they're scanning your emails, putting ads in your email account and collecting
data on you. Why do you think they're free, do you think they want to make you
happy?

I'll keep looking for opportunities. I was thinking I might try learning

Flying gliders doesn’t require an FAA medical, if that interests you.

I remember that from when I was a kid...how hard is it to get a tow?
It’s generally a service offered by all glider clubs. Looks like there’s one near you at Seminole Lake https://www.soarfl.com/
