The fact is, the Usenet is a dying idea. Many groups that I have been
active in for years are now dying on the vine. With AT&T cutting off
access, we will lose another big group of players next month.

Yep. I miss all of those folks.

Dump Google Groups! Get free (or cheap) access to a real NNTP server
access it through OE or some other news reader program, and then set up a
simple killfile. Bang! the bozos are gone.

Nothing personal, but if you are posting through Google Groups I may not
receive
your message. Google refuses to control the flood of spam messages
originating

Try
a real NNTP server & news reader program and you will never go back. All
you
need is access to an NNTP server (AKA "news server") and a news reader
program.
You probably already have a news reader program in your computer (Hint:
Outlook
Express). Assuming that your Usenet needs are modest, use
http://www.cnntp.org/
and/or, http://news.aioe.org/ and/or http://www.motzarella.org/ and/or
https://www.x-privat.org/index.php for free, and/or
http://www.teranews.com/ for a one-time $3.95 setup fee. Newsguy,
http://www.newsguy.com/ offers a variety of reasonably priced services. If
you
wish to experiment with real Usenet access, they will give you a free 2-day
trial account.

What has happened to our newsgroup? Where are all the interesting
questions that were once posed about actual, everyday, dental
concerns? Why is it that someone(thing?) named Jan Drew can monopolize
our NG. Freedom of the 'net I guess. And of course this NG is free/
gratis/no charge/kostenlos yada yada. But see what happens...
thoughtful participants disappear and real patients are intimidated by
these internet bullies and never post again! Actually, 10 years ago
this NG was great. I only ever heard about Boyd and the NTI on this
NG. I've tried to warn about PerioProtect. What happened to Hans
Lenros, Stovepipe, John & Ninetta, Joel Eichen, USW? But some internet
denizens (sharks?) like (whoever the hell she/he/it is) Jan Drew have
screwed it up for all of us.

I'm just really bummed out because I really liked this NG until about
2 weeks ago.
