I hate to tell you this, but it has a lot more to do with the million-plus
spam messages currently being injected daily by a small set of Google customers. Or maybe one Google customer, it is hard to tell. Google is
a disaster that has done more to destroy Usenet than anything else. Everyone is delighted to see it go.

I highly encourage those who care about civilized internet to see other means of
continuing their Usenet discourse, including apps devoted to providing access to
Usenet Groups.

Apps? Just get a newsreader and an account on a legitimate news provider like people have been telling you to do for the past decade. You will find it is FAR more pleasant than fighting with the horrible Google Groups interface. --scott

I note that Chris posts via Gurgle Gropes...

Maybe he doesn't know how to use the type of app known as a news reader
or have the knowledge of how to set up an account, even when his hand is
held by the account provider and application writer.
