news server admins in other newsgroups (e.g., news.admin.net-abuse.usenet
news.admin.peering, news.software.nntp, alt.free.newsservers, alt.privacy.
anon-server) have discussed many topics related to usenet servers, mostly
too technical for the layman and retired hobbyist (little old me included)
to be concerned with, but also talking about whether the googlegroups.com
usenet archive could be made available on account of its historical value,
or even rebuilt from scratch such as dejanews had started off the project?
thus a read-only (no posting), fully-searchable, web-based usenet archive
might be feasible, but even if it were would it be worth that much effort?
it's a complex issue, but the availability of free newsservers that allow
posting are what made usenet popular to begin with, and with googlegroups
being shuttered more users will be looking for servers that allow posting

The German word "Kaufmann" is somebody who trades or is a businessman
otherwise.
That terms is also relevant because people who are "Kaufmann" need to
follow certain laws like Handelsgesetzbuch which others don't.

in a movie that i like, an Israeli spy assumes the identity of a man named
(Hans Hoffmann) --- so i kinda figured that the surname
Hoffmann must be typically non-Jewish.

>>> Americanized form of German Kaufmann , and a variant of the same Jewish surname. Jewish (Ashkenazic): from the personal name Kaufman meaning 'merchant'.

i remember that in this story, the main character had the surname Kaufmann
