I understand how that goes. Enjoy all the time you have with her. We

This newsgroup will outlast television.

 Well, the advantage here is that I can feel like I can actually comment on most TV topics here (whereas I don't feel that way about Reddit's r/ television), and that topics aren't arbitrarily "moderated" here like they are on Reddit.
 The disadvantages are that there is still far too much off-topic crap, still too many trolls, and the population of this group is down to less than a dozen. I'll keep posting here as long as it is able to support some ongoing discussion(s). But, realistically, that's probably not going to be true for much longer...
 I doubt it will outlast even broadcast/terrestrial TV, unless a bunch of new people suddenly discover that Usenet exists.
 

In another 15 years television will pretty much be gone as a form of entertainment.  At least that's what Data said.
