That's terrible to hear. If we are resurrected somewhere, please let me know.
This place has been fun over the years, and good luck and good health to everyone I've met here.

One of the more amusing things about all this is that Google was originally responsible for ruining usenet in the early 2000’s by giving access to every idiot on the planet who just wanted to make noise with zero effort. Usenet used to take some effort to access, and it was somewhat restricted to smarter folks who had an actual interest in the topic of the group. I remember that many of the early users of usenet were kill filing everything that was posted from Google Groups, and it really improved things for them. And now we’ve come full circle, but in an odd way. Google has removed access for lazy, only moderately interested people, which should make it better, but it has actually come close to finishing off usenet because all
of
the serious posters are long gone. Meaning that pretty much everyone is gone now. Oh well.

Now we have to see who is going to get the last post here. Me!

I’m sorry, James, I’m afraid I can’t let that happen...

haha...well, anon1 is horning in as well. I guess RGP had a very good
run, many years of interesting discussion and entertainment for me. I'm glad Doyle posted here even if for a little bit, and I'll never forget
Gary Carson among many others.
Gary actually moved to a little town here in Oklahoma for a little while
and I met him and his girlfriend and we had a great steak dinner here in
OKC. He was one of the most interesting guys here.
Do we know what happened to BillB? I'd really like to make a proper farewell to him. Wherever you are Bill, thanks for the discussions and arguments we had. That goes for everyone who has come and gone over the years.
