Sorry, I broke some stuff recently and I'm fixing it. :(

You're article should be available now.

thank you,
you are really great

I have got it now and saved to my disk
since it takes me a month to write such free style draft

In early days of the Internet it was easy to get some response but
today, usenet is down, low traffic, low interest.

I was really surprised, ResearchGate supports live questions and answers

Glad it's working.

Don't forget that this is Usenet. You would be able to fetch the article
from other servers, if necessary :)

Exactly,

you are right.

I recall usenet readers from the past
but really loved Dejanews for web based interface.

Then moved to Usenet Google Groups, since Google aquired Dejanews
and promised to maintain it to the end of the world

The decision by Google to shut down Usenet Google Groups early 2024 was
a great shock for the internet community.

And a greater relief to the usenet community.

Good night googlegroups - you are not missed.

not sure what do you mean ?

messages sent to usenet are not indexed by Google, Bing ... search
engines
so any activity on the usenet is local activity only, not attracting any
interest from the internet world.

Usenet Google Groups worked really fine but Google has had secrete plans
to terminate service, so dismissed moderators to let spam to flood
Usenet Google Groups.

A single smart usenet admin, like Retro Guy, can keep his usenet groups
spam free
so Google should hire him to get Usenet Google Groups back into life

There is nothing hot to spend one's internet life in sandbox like
present usenet, cut off from the real internet world.

Traffic is low, interaction is low
so usenet is really cut off from the real internet world (24h live
internet world)

Google, Bing, Yandex etc. crawl web interfaces like mine, and others I
assume.

My guess is that they just didn't care. No secret plan, just neglect.
But the world is full of secret plans, so it's possible.

I'm retired. I don't plan on going to work for someone unless absolutely
necessary.

I think some would argue that Usenet is in the real internet world, and
Google is, well, Google, a for profit company that uses the internet to
make money.

Without the internet, there is no Google. Without Google, there is still
the internet. The internet pre-dates Google.

my spell checker wanted to change 'pre-dates' to 'pee-dates'. ???

I have no idea why Google shows that date. I don't believe it's on the
site (novabbs)

It's up to search engines to crawl, nothing I can do to change what they
do/don't show. I'm not particularly bothered if these sites aren't
listed.

I know I see the crawlers in my logs. What they do with the info they
scoop up, I don't know.

Frankly speaking, crawlers crawl the Internet for paid ads, to generate
traffic.

Since usenet groups don't represent any business opportunity for placing
paid ads,
data records generated by crawlers just go to trash.
