I've never been very active here but lurk daily during the season. It's sad
to hear about ISPs dropping usenet access. I had trouble getting on usenet a
year ago and was shocked that most Charter support personnel had never even
heard of it. One told me to call Microsoft! Another explained that because
it was a "fee service" they provided, that they did not offer any support
for it. It didn't matter that they listed it among the services that I paid
for and that it is part of my daily routine. The web forums do have a lot to
offer and I spend time there too, but I've been on usenet before the world
wide web even existed.
On a brighter note, Santa Claus brought my wife a new Ski-Doo GSX E-Tec for
Christmas. I'm almost envious but love my 4-stroke.
