I read about 10 different newsgroups. With the proliferation of

For the last week or so, this newsgroup has been the only one with
posts - not counting an occasional troller/spammer who gets through
the filters. Wonder how long this group will keep going?


I monitor about a half-dozen; three of which are roughly the same
volume as r.w; one is about half the other is 3-5X the traffic.

I don't see usenet disappearing entirely for a while yet altho
certainly the proliferation of the web forum is all that newbies
generally ever see unless they're pointed to usenet by other users.

Yes, but do you want that Eternal September crowd? Before Eternal September
started, I doubt there was more activity than now. I wouldn't mind if it
moved toward the way it was.
