Time-Warner is dropping all newsgroups. Verizon is keeping most of
the Big-8 but is dropping the entire alt.* hierarchy, which includes this
group.

Keep this in mind for future posts, and you may wish to migrate any
existing discussions to a non-alt.* group.

Yes, the unwashed masses are sacking the city, the Nero-Geeks are
preoccupied with World of Warcraft, and in the future all information will
be in proprietary ITunes format. I blame CompuServe.
