    I would say, Adobe stopped caring about PostScript a long time ago. It’s
    no longer the money-earner it once was.

    I think they care very much. PostScript is very much part of their
    business. Many of their proprietary file types embed it.

    What I think Adobe don't care about is how, or even if, Google engage
    with hobbyists or other randoms like us. Other than their advertising
    platform and their search engine, Google are irrelevant to Adobe.

    I take that view, too. Google neither started USENET, nor control it,
    and no longer even participate. News of USENET's death is greatly
    exaggerated.

    But there’s no money to be made from it any more. It’s a commodity.
