Hamburgler,

Due to the offensive nature of USENET and a growing antagonism towards us on the USENET group for providing the gateway we have decided to remove all USENET facilities.

Many Thanks

I agree - a lot of the discussions were offensive and inappropriate for Deeperblue.

LOL I agree too, most of them were inappropriate for the local pub from hell Everyday someone was beating their chest in there or moaning about someone welching on a bet I think the lid is best closed on that box

No big loss to me. Bunch of elitist assholes who liked arguing mostly, apart from a few genuine people.
Peace,

Oh well. That's a bit of a shame. If I was really bored at work,I used to log in to rec.scuba for a giggle This was the only way I could get access to them, can't get the hang of the google groups thing. Anyone know of any other V Bullitin boards that have access?
