Question asked at
https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/395491/usenet-should-good-questions-be-ported-to-stackexchange
in which we few remaining at comp.lang.postscript might be interested.

Since about 2005 I’ve posted on comp.lang.postscript. Some of these posts have been ‘small’ questions or answers, some have been more substantial, such as the two linked from
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/179000/b%c3%a9zier-approximation-of-archimedes-spiral/4810490#4810490
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.postscript/c/3RIq0Jnwrbo
https://groups.google.com/g/comp.lang.postscript/c/B23RW2QpIjU

As has been reported, Google Groups is soon to cease providing write access to UseNet, and it is not implausible to believe that read access will later be lost.

¿Should I port across updated versions of the questions of durable interest? That wouldn’t quite be copy-paste, because errors can be fixed, answers given, etc, but it would not be fundamentally new tellings of new questions. Some of these might belong in Math, some in Software Engineering, some elsewhere.
https://math.stackexchange.com/
https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com

What would be best for StackExchange, what would be best for its readers?
