   I'm in similar boat.  I was using Google Groups to access mainly one   
   group (alt GS Warriors - NBA group).  When Google killed Usenet access,   
   I signed up for Eternal September.  It's been working fine.  BUT I'm not   
   on my personal laptop as much as I used to be.  I'm usually on my work   
   laptop and phone so my Usenet posting has been sproadic.   
      
   Similar to you, I dropped into the NBA group and there's still a few   
   people around.  comp.sys.apple2 seems a little dead though.  Lots of   
   people have migrated to a FB Apple II group from what I see
