Dang it ... Now I have to clean Coke off of my monitor.
But thanks for the laugh. That was hilarious!
Heck, even *I* know about the factory list, and to top it off I know how to find archives in lots of places.
On the other hand, I no longer have the time or energy to run a news node or chase down all of the many, many, many lovely newsgroups I used to follow. Time marches on.
You do not need to. Thunderbird, for example, supports Usenet just fine. You only need to configure a server or provider from out there, and subscribe to the groups you like. I think Mutt does to, in its way. If not mutt, Alpine does. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from Elesar, using openSUSE Leap 15.4)
