Re: The Comcast Newsgroups Service Discontinued

said by Goober:

I think that a lot of this disagreement is age-based.

For me, I started when Internet access meant dial up with nothing else. I then added usenet on my own. Next, I went to DSL. Internet only and I added my own Usenet. Next, I went to WOW cable. At the time, it was internet only. I added my own Usenet. I can't quite remember with Comcast, but I think it was 1GB when they inititally came to town here. I still had my own Usenet.

Taking away Usenet from someone that's been at it as long as I have is a non-issue. For the younger ones, I suppose it feels like something is being taken away.
More than likely!
Someone that came in to Comcast HSI recently, AFTER all the *added services* were in place and then get trashed "due to the declining popularity of Newsgroups...", Yeah!

Well, they were still added on to a rather plain service.
