    What "yahoo group" preceded rec.woodworking? I mean directly preceded it such
    that rec.woodworking is the same group just on a different platform, i.e. usenet?

    AFAIK rec.woodworking began as net.rec.wood (1983-ish?) and became rec.woodworking
    during the Great Renaming in 1987.

    I should have looked it up before. Yahoo was founded in 1994 so there was no way that there
    was a Yahoo group that was the "original" of net.rec.wood, now known as rec.woodworking.
    At one time I was subscribed to alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking

    I did not see it in the list of the newsgroup that I am subscribed to.
    After refreshing the list for both, I tried to find

    It appears to have been removed from both
    -netnews.aioe.org
    -news.eternal-september.org


    It's still in my list - with a grand total of 4 on-topic posts
    since Feb. 2019.

    Eternal september never carried the binary groups. I think that's also true of aioe and other free NNTP providers.

    It's available on my provider.
