That was actually a good thing, because 99.8% of the SPAM posts on

I can second this: For quite some years now I have an account with
eternal-september and in all this time there were at most a handful of
time-outs which usually were gone after a short while. And it is a
friendly service: you sign up and you never hear of them again. Helmut

I am now using eternal-september.

Wouldn't it be a good idea to update the page:
https://www.tcl-lang.org/community/
to drop the mentions of Google for the newsgroup and provide a link to
eternal-september?
