Description

The original Usenet server is shutting down. I can't imagine anyone will notice - anyone still using Usenet probably has a very specific form of brain-damage, and in any case, this isn't killing Usenet, just a bit of it's history - but still, it's an event worth marking, in the same way that Tim Berners-Lee's first web server is now a museum piece.
