    Google Groups ending support for Usenet
    If you work with Usenet groups in Google Groups, support for these
    groups is ending soon.

    Looks like the spammers will have to ply their trade elsewhere!

    Well, at least google will stop being the primary source of usenet spam.

    Perhaps then this can go back to a proper discourse platform in the new
    year!

    All we have to do is teach the Google users how to use a reader and
    where to find a news service....

    Been a shit show for years now, perhaps this will drive another platform that weeds out 99% of the bogus scam/weird crap posted on here.
