The announcement that rec.photo was going away today has been around
for at least a few weeks in news.announce.newgroups and news.groups:

   Currently valid newsgroups which will be replaced:
   rec.travel                      superseded by rec.travel.misc          (29 Sep)
   rec.photo                       superseded by rec.photo.misc           (19 Oct)
   ...

I've attached the rmgroup message which arrived this afternoon.

>isn't the right place to ask please let me know where to go.)

usenet@mit.edu is a much better place to send mail about problems with
service on news.mit.edu.
