OT: September finally ended??? |
I've seen chatter about this but this is the first I've seen from AOL:
http://help.channels.aol.com/article.adp?catId=2&sCId=204&sSCId=2041&articleId=218626
Can it be? AOL is leaving?

http://news.com.com/AOL+shutting+down+newsgroups/2100-1032_3-5550036.html
Buh-bye, AOL! Be sure to not write!

Damn shame, and all that. The AOL folks contributed so very much to the
Interweb community, like prissy, whiny netcops, semi-literate ramblings
from kids who'd been raiding the parents' liquor cabinet, and other
important stuff like that.

Speaking of which, in a fitting end to September 1993, an AOLer on another
group where I lurk sometimes posted a message asking what will become of
the newsgroup when AOL closes it down.
Sigh.
AOL users, impenetrably ignorant for over a decade...

Do that many people even post to Usenet from AOL anymore?
Besides, the WebTVers were even worse.

Dunno. But if nothing else, it's the symbolic passing of an era (though,
granted, much like the passing of a gall stone).
Besides, the WebTVers were even worse.
Fortunately, most of them can't find their way around well enough to
discover Usenet in the first place...

Every rule has exceptions, even this rule. But that would mean that there are
some rules that do not have exceptions, making the rule that every rule as
exceptions a factual fallacy.

Any relationship will work if you make it work. A relationship is
like a job. If you come to work and say, "I worked yesterday", you
won't last long. You have to work *every* day - at a job or at a
relationship.
The internet is just how we met. That's no more important than if we
had been introduced by a mutual friend (which it turned out we had) or
had met on the street.

Buh-bye, AOL! Be sure to not write!
Well, I know AOL listens to their customers...apparently they
determined that their customers wanted high prices and fewer features.
Funny. They just had that ad campaign saying how they were going to
make the internet better. I thought they meant for their customers,
they really meant for us! Thanks AOL!

I love how they're making their service better by dropping services.

Something about they're developing some new software and "services" for
blogging. They can't just use the existing stuff, they have to have their
*own.
But the upshot is, they're about to unleash the AOLers on the *blogs...
(I understand the blog world is worried their September is just beginning)

Better them than us, although it would be better if it wasn't them
