Its now June 29 - thats 4 x 24 = 96 hours - and nothing has been done, and no announcements have been made. It is assumed that all posts from June 25 on have been lost. Hundreds if not thousands have emailed Google Customer Service - yet no replies have been received. It appears that Google is completely abandoning its support for News Groups.
