    My you sound happy! The theme song from "M*A*S*H" seems to be the solution you may not even realize you are looking for. "Suicide is painless. It brings on many changes . . . "

      It seems that the era of free stuff on the 'net is coming to a close - or at least some of the free stuff from the folks that started giving out free service.

      I think we're long past the point where anything Yahoo-related had any relevance to anyone but Yahoo employees, its board of directors, and its shareholders.

        I don't think it's had much relevance for its shareholders for quite some time; I don't believe Yahoo shares have existed since 31 Oct 2016.

                  The couple of still-alive Yahoo groups I subscribe to moved to groups.io a while ago. A lot of the others won't be missed....

                  Same for the one group I'm in. The crippling of group functions VZ did some months ago effectively killed the platform. IIRC all the was left was a klunky mailing list feature, with everything else removed; it was destructive enough I didn't understand why they didn't go directly to full shut down at the time. What's happening now is a mercy killing.

                  Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

                      Loved downloading songs(and other media) from USENET with the funky RAR encoder, where if you missed like #23 out of 55 total, you were hosed!
