Default AOL discontinuing Newsgroup access !

AOL has informed users that in early 2005 that service will stop access to
Newsgroups. Bummer. Sure, I can get to Newsgroups using the new Google
"Groups" feature or thru IE.....but the AOL format for Usenet is much easier to
read and manage. Send AOL a nasty email if this bothers you too.

Looks like the September that never ended might finally come to an end.

Anyone else here dance a jig upon hearing this news? :-)
