only curious how the usenet world might be notified that google had
in fact shut down their usenet connection as per their announcement;
could "news.admin.peering" be the best newsgroup to await the first
confirmation that this widely-publicized decommission has occurred?
if google were to make this announcement, that would close the case

p.s. the popular "r.a.t." newsgroup might be a reliable barometer for when
the google groups mondation (universal flood) suddenly shuts off the spigot

They probably don't care about the Usenet.

I will be notified by huge amounts of Thai spam suddenly dropping to zero
(I monitor them and they still appear in huge quantities, fortunately my
server takes care for them).

I don't think most Google users care about USENET.

to be fair, google maps and google earth have proven invaluable to past
