Apparently not, and probably with good reason, seeing some of the stuff that's been posted here.
I'll wait a few days, then decide whether to unsubscribe.

I haven't seen anything on topic in this group for ages.
I wonder what happened to Lord Valve, though. I haven't seen him for a good while.

Everything changes.
Fools stay the same.

yeh, I used to be mildly pacifist, now I'm an extremist :-)
back in the day we could even attach small files to usenet
postings, there was no abuse. I'm trying to get commercial
servers to re-invent usenet the way it was once, maybe with
adds (fat chance).

Well...it seems I've found a way to look in again, but it ain't like
it once was...

I noticed years ago that when an NG drops to fewer than
a dozen regulars and daily postings to less than maybe 50
that's when 'ng-liquidators' move on it like vultures, usually with
success :-(

I was in on a number of really lively ones, with some really useful contributors - this being one of the best of them. I still have
*many* posts from this group that I saved from back in the day for
reference.
...then my ISP decided to just drop usenet support altogether. Really
miss my 3D artist binary forums too. Used to pick up a lot of good
software on those. I did recently find a way back to one of those,
but I can only seem to get text from that server even though it calls
them "binaries".

Never done binary groups as such, what I meant was
regular usenet where we could attach small files (unless
I'm confusing early usenet with even earlier Compuserve).
My ISP dumped usenet years ago too, so after pissing
around with a few free servers for a while I went to
giganews for a minimal account around 3$/m
Finally with the world drifting to iPhones I don't even
know if you can use a newsreader at all ..I don't have
an iPhone, ain't intelligent enough :-)
