Animus Wisdom

Well after commenting a few posts ago about newsgroup use or the lack there off, I switched all my KDE mailing subscriptions to newsgroups in Gmane :-D, now all my news and mailing lists reside in KNode instead of KMail.

BTW, I will attend the KDE 4 release event at Google, this will be my first KDE event since the European events are quite a long way from my home office in Tijuana, Mexico and the old KWallet is empty during that time of the year. I hope to meet many of you there :-)

P.S. Many people have sent me e-mails asking about my post titles, only two got it right. all titles come from Edgar Allan Poe works, I might have also used a movie title at some point.

More than 10 years ago… this was the last time I went into a newsgroup.

A couple of days ago I signed up for a paid news group service and I have rediscovered the great feeling of posting without having to remember what site I posted on, passwords, profiles, etc.

I was shocked to find that there are no groups for KDE ( besides the a few mailing lists ). I did find many well maintained groups for Debian, Mozilla projects, GNU projects and a few others.

Does anybody still use Usenet?
