OTOH - google groups is 'doing its bit', e.g.

The following usenet groups are archived

Not entirely accurate, but then, it does
discourage further posts to that group.
Too bad they (as expected) do it rather stupidly. A few unobtrusive
lines of text here and there (and no explanation why the group is "only
available as an archive", or even why some groups would be and not all,
or even a link for more info), and although there's no link for posting
a new thread there are "reply" links on all of the postings. They don't,
thank God, lead to an inviting form to type your life history into,
submit, and get an error message and the contents eaten, but why are the
links there at all? (Crossposts might need them, with the newsgroups
line being automatically trimmed to remove the one group, mind you.)
Interestingly, it looks like I could otherwise have actually posted,
though I've never done anything specific to get a google groups account.
Maybe it's because I have a gmail account?
