It's the traffic. Mostly Anka and Michael don't post here like they used
to. I think they moved to Colchis to study the beginning of
Indo-European languages together.

Well, this part of the issue is great, IMO.

However, I went without newsgroups for awhile, not even really noticing what
was going on. I knew Cox was planning on dropping Usenet, and I guess I
didn't realize that they did .

Anyway, once I DID notice, I switched to one of the alternates mentioned
here. Traffic was instantly lower. I sorta-kinda guess it was because of
Cox and some other big-name ISP who canned Usenet at about the same time.
Maybe folks with switch to a different Usenet server, maybe they won't
bother.

I still use COX and was affected by their dropping of Usenet at the end of
June. Like you, I was given a suggestion here for a replacement and it has
worked seamlessly. Traffic-wise, I guess there's just not that much worth
discussing lately. Personally, I just finished a 20th Century type set
after about six or seven years of effort. Luckily, I was able to acquire
the gold examples when bullion was about half of today's prices.
Ironically, the last coin I needed was a Memorial Lincoln cent (I chose a
Cameo PR 1960SD). Coins are all MS and PCGS, one of my few anti-slab
consessions.

Many ISP have drooped usenet from the services provided.

It has cause many to give up on newsgroups.

I wonder if it is a form of censorship..........news groups aren't
controlled in any way.........
