- NOTICE of Shutdown:
-
- It is with deepest regret that I must announce the closing of
- The Plex Project. There isn't enough support to keep the group
- alive. I will of course be finding new homes for the 17 systems
- we are currently feeding. In Ann Arbor there is still iunet,
- mudos and it looks like Meg (netmeg) is going to join the game.
-
- I hope the closing of this system will help to show that even
- though others are still -GIVING- Usenet News feeds, it costs
- these people time and money to keep such a service alive.
-
- Since the Universities are tightening their belts as far as
- resources go, it will soon be up to the public to do MORE than
- we currently are to keep ourselves fed. If you are one of the
- local users receiving and posting to Usenet from somewhere other
- than a -GEMMIE- account provided by your employer, think about
- helping the site you are reading this thread on.
-
- If you are one of the sites being fed via "The Plex Project" you
- can get further information on what is going on and where your
- NEW home will be by mailing me: root@plex-1.ann-arbor.mi.us.
-
- My THANKS to those of you who gave,
