   I read Google's statement on why, and I do understand. Usenet is absolutely   
   full of spam, and the binaries are all basically illegal copies of content.   
   Legitimate content certainly does struggle against the tidal waves of garbage.

   I was thinking that too. Has anyone who uses the other online Apple II sites   
   ever written about "Check out csa2 on Usenet"? I don't believe I've ever seen   
   such a mention. It could be mentioned that EternalSeptember is free, and there   
   are some free    
   clients out there. On my Windows machine I have GrabIt, which is free and   
   works pretty good. Maybe an artice on some popular forum "All About   
   comp.sys.apple2 and How to Participate for Free"
