   Some of us are doing what we can to counter the stream of unconsciousness,   
   although the paucity of participants, for reasons ably outlined by Boron   
   elsewhere in this thread, make it difficult to sustain ongoing discussions.   
   Apart from that face page thing, blame should be placed on former New York   
   Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, who threatened to prosecute ISPs over alleged   
   child pornography in binary newsgoups and gave the major ISPs an excuse to shut   
   down their NNTP servers entirely back in the mid-aughts.
