Some reasons and other comments given for the scheduled discontinuence, copied from the forum, copied from the mailing list:
Continued use of the service to support commercial products, in violation of the agreement.

If the group of people I wanted to talk to were among the 377 users currently on GSC, then that would be perfect. As it happens, they usually aren't.

I think the phrase you are looking for is "You have no privacy. Get over it."
The moon landing, of course, was only possible because the USA's German rocket scientists were almost as good as the USSR's German rocket scientists.
That cognoscenti also said that about "The Eye of Argon". That, alone, doesn't make it classic literature.
I think you missed the words "per foot" in that description.
