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. |

I'm flabbergasted. Someone actually LIKES the way AOL handled usenet? On the rare occasion I actually used it, it was like punding my head on concrete - it seemd deliberately designed to be as awkward as possibe to discourage its use. Please, if AOL seems good to you, either get counseling or try an actual newsreader (with a real newsgroup service). |

They have a Usenet (newsgroups) gateway at this site, just follow the links to the Forum area. It's photography related only.
