Usenet closing entire 'rec.crafts.textiles' section?

Coming out of imposed lurkdom to ask if anyone else has heard from
their NTTP provider(s) that usenet is closing down the entire
rec.crafts. textiles (.whatever, in this case .yarn) ??
I received 4 notices yesterday, from each of the NTTP servers I use.
Back into imposed lurkdom,

No, but it wouldn't surprise me. There's no money to be made off of
us. All the pr0n and warez leeches are where the money is these days:
binaries or bust is the new news services motto.

Roadrunner just throttles NNTP speed to force people elsewhere. Last
time I bothered to check binary groups are retained for 48 hours,
putative text-only groups for 14 days.

Reply to the list as I do not publish an email address to USENET.
This practice has cut my spam by more than 95%.
Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account...

Haven't heard any such thing. Are sure these messages aren't spoofed? Could
the ol' tr**ls be back?

Maybe some servers are dropping them. I use the one out of Berlin, and
I haven't received any such notice.

I use several free servers and haven't received anything along these
lines. Usenet exists, there's really no one `in charge' of it and it's
up to individual service providers to carry groups. Evidently Noreen's
is dropping these in order to carry others. There's way over 100,000
groups - few providers carry all of them.

It looks as if those are all in .eu and most likely all using the same
upstream feed. If they're all saying they're about to drop rec.* or
subsets thereof I'd guess that the upstream feed is dropping them.

As somebody else said, very few providers carry every group in
existance, for a wide variety of reasons all hinging on money.
