I posted some years ago, but always enjoyed this forum and reading
some very insightful comments on JRRT's work.

I understand the forum getting shut down tomorrow, thanks people!

It is only the Google Groups portal to this newsgroup that
is getting shut down, which will mean less spam. You
can still access this newsgroup via a newsreader such
as Agent on Windows, Hogwasher on Mac, Pan on Linux,
or the free Thunderbird (even if you donrCOt also use it for
email) on all three, accessing a free newsserver such
as Eternal September or Solani, or, if you want binary
access, a paid newsserver such as Giganews.

Actually, what's happening tomorrow is that Google Groups is no longer
acting as a gateway to Usenet. This group isn't going anywhere, but it
will be necessary to access it via the original interface--that is,
getting a Usenet account and using a newsreader instead of a web
browser.

For anyone who hasn't heard about the change to Google Groups, here's
a link:

All that was shutdown was Google's portal.
Get a real NNTP connection and you'll have access to every newsgroup
a server you connect to carries.
