Is Google Groups down for everybody else?

They go up and down, but man - they've only sputtered up once in the last
week or so.

It seems to be working for me at the moment (it appears to reach
rec.bicycles.tech)

Also if you were unaware, there is this site (for future reference)-

No new posts appear to be being added.

BTW, there are some free Usenet services if your ISP has dropped Usenet.

http://www.newsgroupreviews.com/eternal-september.html appears to be
the most widely used.

Well, yeah - I have a workaround.

I'm wondering if Doug can see any of this via GG (?) Perhaps "down" was
not the best choice of terminology.

And sorry for the OT.

And I know Google Groups is disdained, but it's very handy. And they hold
the invaluable deja archives. And I think they're not evil.

They do seem to be an afterthought. And Google really needs to fix
things to conform with Usenet convention.

I still use "deja.com" to go to Google Groups.

The problem is that Google doesn't do filtering of spam on Usenet like
Sonic.net does. Also I have extensive filters set up to filter out all
the trolls and annoying posters that I've build up over the years.

They are not on the side of the angels, either.

This is my first glimpse of anything resembling an update since AM of

Is everything Google down for everyone else?
