Since others may be interested, here are the two places I shared with
Al in email.
<http://gmane.org/> has a bunch of mailing lists represented in usenet
form. Lots of good stuff there. However, it isn't exactly a
replacement for usenet because it looks like they aren't hosting the
main usenet newsgroups, just mailing lists in usenet form.
<http://www.eternal-september.org/> is a free and open usenet server.
