    I will.

    But it's not hard to keep access. eternal-september for server and Thunderbird for a reader. Both are free and pretty easy to do.

    I’ll still be keeping up my habit of intermittently paying attention, at least as long as anyone else is still here.

    I'm not going anywhere.

    Maybe if you come up with other access, you'll also drop the curly quotes
    and impossible-to-quote text... 8-)

    (I know, it's time for me to upgrade to 8-bit text...I still think smart
    quotes are a pain in the ASCII!)

    Since I am using news.eternal-september.org and Agent reader, there
    will be no change to my lurking. ;) Been around for a long time...

    Likely. Like others, I'm using the eternal-september NNTP server with the 'Gnus' package in Emacs.
