Goodbye to AOL usenet AOL cancels usenet Bye everyone

Write down the email addresses of all your aol friends in here while you can.

AOL is pulling usenet in a few days. No reasons why.

When ever I had to find out who said what in what episode on a bet from my coworkers, I came right to this group. There are such hard core fans in here that many of you can even give me the details and an episode number.

Thanks to all that compiled all the quotes over the years. Those are great to print out and take on long trips, post up at work and email to friends.

You guys never got paid for anything you ever made for us in here. You did it out of love and enjoyment and I will miss this resource and the laughs.

Thanks for everything everyone.

You do realize that Usenet, much like the rest of the internet, has really nothing to do with AOL, right?

Go sign up for a free news account at http://news.individual.net. Then, setup a newsreader like Mozilla Thunderbird, Agent Newsreader, or worst case even Outlook Express (there are plenty of instructions on the web). Enjoy.

Mozilla Thunderbird is an excellent one, and I'm using it right now. Be warned though: If you're on a Mac, Thunderbird will mount another disk image every time you start it.

Ok, I should have checked my facts. It turns out that it mounts a disk image when you first download it, and that disk contains the program. Once you move the program to your Applications folder and eject the disk image, it's gone.

We did it because we are big kids with dry, sarcastic senses of humor.
Why else would an unmarried 48 year old man with an MS from MIT call
himself "Space Museum"?
