Default BT Usenet to cease

Yes but is it sustainable at their low cost. Indeed where do eternal
september get the money to keep their servers running form. I think the main
casualties will be binary groups or thir retention times. I wonder how long
google will support the archive and keep offering web access to it? I do
notice they are removing, indeed have removed the apis for feedburner,
turning it into a basic podcast list again, though I strongly suspect they
themselves will be using it to track stuff using it but not let anyone else
do it!
But news groups really do need to be plugged more in my opinion.
