Space calendar etc

I would remind those uploading he space calendar to the sci.space.news
group that we are now in April. Also nobody ever puts news up there these
days. I find this most irritating.

Me too. I wrote the person who posts the news and no reply.
I think it's an end to another usenet group.

Its corporate amnesia. As soon as the previous person goes, moves, dies or
whatever, no record has been made of what they did, so any new person has no
idea what went on.

This isn't a corporate job. It's a volunteer job. The fact is that
Usenet News is just a tiny fraction of what it was in the 1980s, due to
web pages replacing it. It took 30 years for this to happen, so I think
it's been a pretty good ride.

But the thing is, web pages from my point of view are far less easy to use
than a news group and there is no reason why one cannot have web addresses
on a news post, but basic details are far easier to navigate on here than on
a web site with like this or more heres all over the bleedin place
apparantly randomly distributed with adverts, pop ups and silly animations.

Agreed, but Usenet News just isn't as popular as it used to be. The
number of active posters in the sci.space groups can be counted on one
person's fingers. :-(
