Here's a post from 1/22/90. If you're not using Google Groups, this is the only post you'll see. Otherwise, you'll see the whole thread. Most of the posts appear to be from corporations, military, and educational institutions.. This tended to keep out the petty whiners. Boy have things changed!

Except, of course, every September when the freshmen got their accounts

Remember when AOL got Usenet access? Every day was like the first day of
fall semester.

Spring break and summer seem to bring out the sophomoric trolls. They

There is, or was, a group called rec.food.recipes. IF it still
exists, maybe you should look there.

I didn't mind that at all. I did get an awful, sinking, feeling when I realized that the days of the free internet was over and the web had fully bloomed into a major channel to sell merchandise and services.

It still exists as does rec.food.recipes.beer. It must be next to
impossible to kill a newsgroup in one of the Big 8 hierarchies
nowadays. Whether there's any meaningful traffic in it is another
matter.
