G**gle stopped relaying messages posted on their domain from last
Thursday to yesterday. Some newsgroups, like this one, were not affected
much. In others which have a lot of GG posters, it was very noticeable.
It was still posting Usenet messages, in essence, making Usenet a subset
of GG. It was an interesting experiment. My guess is that sooner or
later, it's going to be a permanent arrangement.
