Does anyone else read Miss Manners on Usenet? I stopped getting any postings about 2 months ago. At first I thought she was just on vacation as that sort of thing has happened in the past - she'd be gone for a week or 2 and then would reappear. This time she has not reappeared! I tried unsubscribing and resubscribing but no luck. I checked on the internet and found her in Google Groups and there were new postings from Jan at least. So does anyone know whether Usenet still carries MM? The newsgroup is still listed but I don't know if it could be listed but just not be active anymore. Don't know how those things work. Help!!! I need a Miss Manners fix.

I tried to subscribe to the group and while the group was listed it came up with zero posts. I even asked it to go back 600 posts and still came up with nothing. Don't know why it would still be listed if it no longer exists, but that seems to be the case. -- Donna A pessimist believes all women are bad. An optimist hopes they are.

I'm not sure exactly which group you're referring to, but alt.fan.miss- manners is available on netnews.worldnet.att.net and currently contains 31 posts ranging from 2/9/04 through today.
As I told another poster it's clari.living.columns.miss_manners.
I know I can go onto Google groups and read it there but that's a nuisance. I want to read it on usenet where I read all my other newsgroups. :-( Kate

This is just for her columns. Other people cannot post to it. I've been reading it for many years and all of a sudden it's gone. That is it's still listed and you can subscribe but you don't get any posts. Haven't been any for several months.
