Eternal September

Well, today is the last day that Comcast offered Usenet service. Has Eternal September finally come to an end? While I came along after the AOL added Usenet, I was first exposed to newsgroups (and Linux) in my first semester at PennState. I guess I have always regarded Usenet to be superior to forums due to the higher quality of responses. Simply put between IRC and Usenet, I have always been able to find the answer to my question, or at least be put on the correct path to said answer. Fortunately, I subscribe to an independent Usenet provider, , so my Usenet will not disappear.

As a final tribute, here is a Perl script that I found, you guessed it, on Usenet that takes Eternal September into account.
