I feel the same. Why can we not reactivate things?

For once, I'm going to hire someone to install me a local USENET set of groups for my research team, using e.g.:

  local.news
  local.research
  local.research.conferences
  local.research.papers
  local.research.ideas
  local.research.conferences
  local.research.experiments
  local.research.datasets
  local.research.tools
  local.systems
  local.social
  local.teaching
  local.admin
(I find NNTP servers needlessly hard to install. On the client side, there are many readers still embedded in Web browsers, but I prefer Emacs GNUS.)
