Google announcing that it will drop #Usenet support from Google Groups gave me a reason to write a short version of the Usenet eulogy I've had in the back of my mind for the last couple of decades.
(Yes, I am not only old enough to remember Usenet but to have written about the Green Card Lawyers early on in my time at the Post. They did not appreciate the coverage, and one of them--Martha Siegel, if I recall--vaguely threatened me with a lawsuit before doing nothing.) https://www.pcmag.com/news/end-of-an-era-google-groups-to-drop-usenet-support
