FYI... it's going to be no longer possible to look up a word on dejagoogle
to see if it has already been discussed in the distant past before posting.
<https://support.google.com/groups/answer/11036538>

To catch up on details, there's a detailed discussion in the peering ng:
*Effective February 15, 2024, Google Groups will no longer support new Usenet content*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/_w1mbwzgzs0>

Which is a followup to this original request for who is peering this spam:
*Who is peering all these spams ostensibly from Google Groups?*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/AgrNUeZuAkw>

Which itself was followed up in a request for people to complain to Google:
*Please complain to Google about their spamming of Usenet*
<https://groups.google.com/g/news.admin.peering/c/xxniDVj3ArI>

In summary, people will need to find another way to find out of a word has already been discussed ad infinitum before they post another query here.

FYI... There are somewhat similar alternatives, but they're not the same.

If you know of other Usenet search engines, please let us all in on it.
