    So Google groups is shutting down new posts, which will pretty much finally kill this group once and for all (for the 3 regular participants, but maybe a few others still lurking out there). It's been an interesting multi decade(!) ride with you guys. Best of luck out there. ;)

    You too, ed.
    I've found the iOS Newswatcher app is free for two groups, which combined with Eternal September
    for hosting is a 'lousy UI but free' solution. For MacOS, there's Hogwasher, which IIRC they want
    $35 for. Still debating what other software might be worth trying or not...in any event, hh@ is a direct
    email to me if you're inclined to drop a private line...I'll provide pics of the soon-to-be new ride! <g>

    I've been using Thunderbird fairly successfully. There is some weirdness
    where it stops communicating with Eternal-September until I quit and
    re-launch it.

    Second your sentiment, and will miss you too. I started posting in CSMA in the late 90's, over 3 decades ago. Don't know if I will go to paid solution or not. I'm getting very tired of Alan Baker's anger, lies and half truths. If you do want to keep up with what I'm up to in a part of my aviation life I have a semi-active YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcvZXi-36GQkeHr0FdB4cTg

    Yeah.. I think it happens if you leave it open too long?
