Roll call: how many of you will still be accessing the board after Google groups stops access?

[Surf Dance Chris]

Im wondering if it’s worth looking into figuring out a way to access it, especially since participation in the group has been low for a while anyway.

I will.

But it's not hard to keep access. eternal-september for server and
Thunderbird for a reader. Both are free and pretty easy to do.

I’ll still be keeping up my habit of intermittently paying attention, at
least as long as anyone else is still here.

I'm not going anywhere.

Maybe if you come up with other access, you'll also drop the curly quotes
and impossible-to-quote text... 8-)

(I know, it's time for me to upgrade to 8-bit text...I still think smart
quotes are a pain in the ASCII!)

Since I am using news.eternal-september.org and Agent reader, there
will be no change to my lurking. ;) Been around for a long time...

Likely. Like others, I'm using the eternal-september NNTP server with the
'Gnus' package in Emacs.
