Posting and subscribing will be disallowed, and new content from Usenet peers will not appear." I completely misunderstood that because this is my special talent to do so.

Usenet is *not* being discontinued, the NNTP gateway to and from GoogleGroups is being switched off, that is all.
To continue using Usenet, find a Usenet/NNTP server, either free or... you want me to... what now? Learn something new on my computer?? *comes dangerously close to stealing Leslie's song to sing "I am a babe on the internet highway"....*
paid, and install a Usenet/NNTP client on your computer(s).
Google is your friend. (Oh, the irony. :-) )

It means if you're using Google Groups's abominable interface to Usenet,Well I do have an article open about how to do it, but will I be able to that's the question. On the bright side, the filk community (what's left of it anyway) would hardly miss me if I can't keep up. =^-^= But so far all I've found is a bunch of articles about its history and what it is. Nothing simple, to the point, that says, "here how you use it to keep up with the google group." Oh well.
you should get off and get onto a legitimate and competently-run Usenet server like everybody has been telling Google users to do for the past twenty years.
