The AP wire story on the subject claimed that fewer than 1000 of its 23 million subscribers even used the service. It's no surprise, though they picked an ironic time for the move -- this month is the 25th anniversary of when we announced Usenet at the January Usenix conference. And of course, AOL is by no means the entire Internet. http://www.betanews.com/article/AOL_Pulls_Plug_on_Newsgroup_Service/11066646 11 ------ End of Forwarded Message ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
