Instead I used user net groups, there news       reader free trials..but        before i found one I liked I discovered old computer browsers let me sign into       google groups ..using my same e-mail and password that I had from the very       beginning..news readers let you do that too. I had a few of my old computers       in L.A and the east        coast.. but I used lap top and smart phones to read AFGS, only used the       computers to post..pain in the ass..Im on a computer now to read posts and       messages because the smart devices won't let me scroll down all the way. thats       why I started this new        conversation.        > I knew this would happen eventually. it happened to yahoo groups (the people       in those groups got the same notification) but unlike here, they lost       everything in there groups after years of posting. AFGS does not belong to       google and its archives are        forever preserved..well nothing lasts forever..but as long as there are       servers willing to serve...        >        >        > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~        > , |
