: FYI, number of newsgroups left as of a minute ago: 32. I wonder what happens : when it reaches 0. They shut off the machine that hosted their branch of Usenet, the bubble gum and duct tape that held that server together finally gives and the machine falls apart like a dropped lego house.

At first I read that as windbag. The newsgroup server will keep running for six months with no newsgroups. Then the DNS entries will get remove but they will still be accessible via IP address for another six months.

lol Have you ever dropped a Lego house? Those blocks have staying power... Lincoln Logs would be a better metaphor. -ralph

: lol : : Have you ever dropped a Lego house? Those blocks have staying power... : Lincoln Logs would be a better metaphor. True. When I demolished lego houses, I did it from the upstairs. A one story fall onto a wood floor takes care of the house fairly effectively. <g> The tragedy here is that is next to impossible to find lego sets or lincoln log sets that were as good they were back in the 70s and before. Everything nowe is pre-fabbed to build it via instructions, which sucks. Back in the day, we used our imaginations. How times have changed.

MS just deleted all the newsgroups on their server sometime during the last few hours. Their server is still online at the moment.
