It is good actually, I like the feed untainted and uncensored. That the UseNet is being phased out - or is dying - after almost a third of a century? They said that 20 years ago. Does MS know (and control) something we don't? So is this also a social change dictated by technology's progress? - That people will now forgo these discussions and instead concentrate on 'faster' means of conversation. You mean like facebook and other kiddie sites? Glad to see they left actually. I don't really know where to stand on this but I feel we are witnessing another - rather uncelebrated - change in online sociology. Should I look forward to future newsgroups carried on Twitter someday? Just some year-end musings (meaningless perhaps). Wishing everybody a Happy New Year. :-) Jyanendra (Courtesy Avatar) ------------------- Twitter will bite the dust someday. Twitter is for twits.
