According to what they sent us for Case Daily, the whole news server 
will be shut down. Google Groups are abysmal and far too uninclusive. I 
don't even know what ATT-Yahoo provides. My old ISP had a decent news 
server but I've been using the Case one now since 1999. I never posted 
much here, but I liked being able to read it all.

This is what the notice said:

"Information Technology Services (ITS) is discontinuing the Usenet 
newsgroup service to the university as of December 5. According to ITS, 
advances in collaboration technology have provided adequate replacements 
for the services this newsgroup once provided. Alternatives such as 
Google Groups and commercial Usenet providers are available."
