   Welcome to to the Newsgroup! It looks like my Usenet propaganda on the   
   FFF discord has gotten at least one person to start using this ancient   
   system...   
      
   As sad as it is that Google Groups is gone, the lack of spam gives us an   
   opportunity to become active here again. Hopefully, over time, more   
   people might join us here. It's a surprisingly pleasant way to   
   communicate with eachother.
