Google Groups has been down since June 25. Sunspots? Gypsies?

I've been using it (Eternal-September) the past few days without any
drama. Only odd thing I noticed is Harold Vordos posts aren't coming
through. Suspect that his news provider isn't being scanned/updated at
Eternal-September. Every so often I notice his signature in some quoted
material but not the original post.

Here is the address I've been using right along:

news.eternal-september.org

news:alt.free.newsservers is a group that discusses free usenet
servers. You might want to find a few spares, just in case.

I like Google Groups when it functions. It lacks filtering but the spam died
down a while ago and the hatemongering is easier to ignore than TV
commercials. It allows redirecting an idiot's followups to alt.dev.null like
the Mac newsreader I formerly used.

I think that you must not exist. I don't see it. :-)

Enjoy,

When Tbird flaked out the last time, and our workplace went to a MS
Exchange system, I gave up and went to Google Groups.
Works fine so far.
