Wait. I'm confused. Google Groups was still interfacing with the Usenet? In a way that one could post to Usenet via Google Groups? I never knew that! I thought they were only hosting a read-only archive based on what they acquired with DejaNews. And I seem to recall a post about that having been discontinued... So this was somehow secretly all still alive? Damn.


Even so… now you cant even read it. Say goodbye to many historic messages like Linus announcing his Kernel, and many dead links on the web.
