Subject: AOL dumps newsgroups


Yesterday AOL flashed a message to all users clicking on newsgroups to the effect that it would no longer support newsgroups as of "early 2005" (see below). When I inquired about this, AOL said this new policy "was based on user feedback" -- yeah, like we've all been banging down AOL's door asking them to reduce their service. If you're an AOL user and you think this really stinks, use keyword "Tell Us" and let those bastards hear from you. ----------------- actual text of AOL message ------------------------ Please Note: The AOL Newsgroup service will be discontinued in early 2005. For members using AOL over a dial-up connection, you will no longer be able to access Newsgroups. If you have a separate high-speed connection, you can contact your broadband provider to see if they offer Newsgroups. Newsgroup services can often be accessed through a third party reader, such as Mozilla Thunderbird (http://www.mozilla.org/projects/thunderbird/). Alternatively, you can access Newsgroups via Google at http://groups.google.com/. We apologize for this inconvenience. Mike Yankee (Address is munged to thwart spammers.
