Re: Leaving Usenet and heading to Google Groups

I just canceled my SuperNews subscription. Seems there are not many free readers around. Times are tough and it makes little sense
to pay for access to what is written here. I rarely post anyway. That leaves Google for reading. So be it.

I do not know about this group compares with others for off topic posting, but this group really has little to do with electronics.
It is mostly blather about everything else - present post included. The sages of the industry who gather here might know their
craft, but their opinions on everything else diminishes the esteem in which they could be held. Occasionally there is a pearl of
wisdom. But not enough to justify a monthly charge. Time to go tend the fields. I have a new crop of bits coming up.

I used to connect through @home.com, which went bust, and the access
folded into my local ISP (Cox Comm). However, they started dropping
some useful newsgroups (like sci.chem -WTF?). I also had a problem
accessing through them when I was not at home, so I defaulted to
google groups, registering with a throwaway hotmail address.
