    And the reason this is relevant here is because Thom Miller operated the novaBBS web site, that made it easy to use USENET groups after Google
    Groups shut down.

    So, unless someone fixes him up with a real newsreader, set up for Eternal September, I guess we will no longer hear why Newton was wrong from
    Ireland any more.
