Death of Usenet

Another step towards the (sad) death of Usenet. Aardvark reports TelstraClear is looking to drop Usenet access, as Telecom have already done.

I was a regular in Usenet for seven years before I began blogging. Made many friends from there, and had some great debates. I haven’t connected to an NNTP server for years but do use Google Groups to check stuff out from time to time.
