  . . . and then, it got possible again . . .

  Honestly, there are so few new posts popping up on de.-Usenet
  these days that I have a reading mode where I just check out
  all the latest messages from /every/ de.-newsgroup, all mixed
  together and then sorted by time.

  Twenty years back, I'd knock out some stuff around the house,
  hop online to answer a few questions in the programming groups,
  then circle back to my chores. Now those groups are either
  ghost towns or stuck in a rut with the same handful of folks
  rehashing the same old lines.

  So, what am I supposed to do with my chores now? It's gotten tough!
