Seems so few use news these days that it's not a problem for most - and
therefore those ISPs won't miss the few customers who change because of
it. Allegedly.

Considering the online population has gone from a (relative) handful to
a large proportion of the country's population, you only need an
incredibly tiny percentage to use Usenet for the actual numbers to grow.
Is it really true that the absolute numbers are so small? (Genuinely
questioning - I don't know.)

Can't help wondering what would have happened if MS had put a halfway
decent newsreader in with Windows. And maybe some autoconfig doodah that
made connection settings automatic (or very nearly so).

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
