"El Pais" ("The Country"?) is officially dead from May 20th.
:-)
Well, I translate the notice as it appears in the web version of this
newspaper:
"For many years it maintained an almost vegetative life, but on 20 May, Duke
University, Durham (USA), decided to unplug the server host that kept it
alive: Usenet, the online network of discussion groups formally signed death
. It was a precursor to the Internet, but mail, RSS, and especially Facebook
and Twitter have sustituidoel service they provide."
But I suspect that something is wrong with this, because I can't locate it
searching inside 'El Pais' website. However, it appears in the RSS version.
Greetings

... or at least is what I've read this morning in
'El Pais', the main
newspaper in Spain.
My newsbots don't seem to have heard the, uh, news.
