From what I can see on my news server, which goes back to 2014, soc.culture.german was, throughout that period, filled with mostly spam and off-topic postings, with rare exceptions. I am sure there was a time when the newsgroup had a higher quality of postings, but I don't know when that would have been. I suppose one could find it through Google Groups, but one would have to click back through hundreds of pages of threads, one page of 30 threads at a time, to find when that was. The newsgroup was "functioning" before Feb. 22 in the sense that posts were being received and transmitted, but not in the sense that any significant portion of the posts were about Germany or German culture. -- Joshua Kreitzer [email protected]
