   Google did it. They cut their peering connection with usenet. If they   
   hadn't, many usenet server owners were considering de-peering their end   
   of the connection, or just killing all posts originating on the Google   
   servers. Just as we no longer see their posts, Google Groups members   
   will no longer see ours.
