who's ISP killed their usenet service completely. So Usenet is
becoming less available. Yes hobbes is an archive, but there are
mirrors so it wouldn't be lost entirely, except for the history of it
being one of the first and largest of it's kind. If every provider
kills their Usenet servers then the network dies. And Google sucks
for Usenet, so don't even go there.
As Dave McGuire says, he runs a server. There are also
news.albasani.net and news.eternal-september.org. Those are good too.
