AOL: dropping ngs

Hi Y'all, just to pass along the news that AOL is dropping their
newsgroup reader service. "...discontinued in early 2005", their
message says. Oh, they also apologize for the inconvenience. They
must have read too many Douglas Adams novels. later, ron

You will see more and more of that, newsreaders are obsolete, now that
the new Google interface is up and running

Continually repeating this does not make it so. Using a website to access a
newsgroup is like going around the block to get next door.

I disagree, using a website gives you TOTAL control, to delete/edit
posts, and ban any troublemakers, and also ban their ISP's so they
can't even VIEW the site...

And not to mention, the graphics and private messaging available, and
members' lists, etc.

You guys are living in 1981 net times...wake up, smell the coffee.
Usenet is the Model T of the net world.

Surely, you must mean "consistantly bad."

I've been on AOL since version 1.0a. I'm not bragging, it's more of a sorry
admission. Over the years I've seen more and more of the service deteriorate or
be eliminated. I've been saying for years I'm going to drop them (I do have
other accounts to use), and I really need to get around to changing everything
that I need to change. The biggest problem is relocating a well-publicized (at
least two magazines and a book as well as innumerable links) website and
leaving a trail to follow. Oddly enough, one of the more trouble-free aspects
of AOL up to about a month or so ago was the newsgroups. Time to leave.
