AOL drops Usenet

The Register says that AOL is dropping their support for Usenet news, referring the handful of people who still care to Google Groups. I’m not completely sure how I feel about this–I clearly remember the massive invasion of cluelessness that happened when AOL first invaded Usenet. On the other hand, we’re going to see a new wave of “Usenet is dying” stories, now that AOL is gone.
