I feel the same. Why can we not reactivate things? For once, I'm going to hire someone to install me a local USENET set of groups for my research team, using e.g.: local.news local.research local.research.conferences local.research.papers local.research.ideas local.research.conferences local.research.experiments local.research.datasets local.research.tools local.systems local.social local.teaching local.admin (I find NNTP servers needlessly hard to install.
