Default AT&T Usenet Netnews Service Shutting Down

Mea culpa, Tenman. Life has been extremely hectic for the past 8 or so
months, and I have not been posting pics. I promise to remedy that
forthwith. Well, in the next couple of days.

The thing to remember is that for anyone under the ATT umbrella, *this*
group is going away, too. No more rgo for us, and there are many of us. So I
need to bite the bullet and find another avenue for posting. It's not the
$$. I mean, $3/month? It's just that I have been a little lazy and have not
added an indie provider. I will be doing that.

Based on what's happening, I tend to agree with Chris Savas that Usenet is
going away. If we want to stay in touch, and I think a lot of us do, then we
eventually will need an alternative. Kye's server can fill the bill, if we
use it.

Okay, if this is real (and I don't doubt it) that takes the cake. What
are those third party vendors again? I never made a note of them.

Also: it is time to get serious about using the groups that Kye set up.

There has only been one posting since 5/30, on 6/09, on abpo, and only
two, both mine, on o.pictures (the Kye group) since 5/31, on 6/09.

Apparently I am alone on both - or just about.
