Hell, I'm surprised there's still Usenet newsgroups. They're way

They have to have the binary groups for downloaders, so they keep our
conversational groups on because it's not much space, effort, or cost
for them to do so and it looks so good when they can point to us when
complainers whine about the 'Net only being good for porn,

I understand that most ISPs don't really bother with newsgroups the
past few years. They farm them out to big providers.
