From: R. C. White on 22 May 2010 10:24 Hi, Nobody (and David). Just a minor clarification for your Reply: That quote did not come from me (although I don't disagree with it), but from Andrew, who deleted all the body of my text when he "quoted" my message.

Weeeell, as much as I might like to disparage Google, it is sort of keeping the system "alive" even if access isn't by NNTP. If it weren't for Google's routing through the WWW, news groups that are withering anyway, would've been stone dead. (Totally off topic, but as ISP's in the likes of Aussie and NZ stopped supporting Usenet access, groups with interests aimed specifically at those two countries simply folded. Non-techies had no idea where to go, as their ISP's didn't point them to servers such as Giganews and others.)

Hi, Andrew. "No harm, no foul", as they say. I just didn't want other readers to mistake the source of the comments. RC -- R. C. White, CPA San Marcos, TX (Retired.
