I read about 10 different newsgroups. With the proliferation of other

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 am one of the moderators at misc.taxes.moderated, and post there have
slowed to less traffic than here.

I've lurked here since the mid-80's, and it's amazing this group is
still going strong in comparison to many others.
There's a population that doesn't know what usenet is and worse, think
that initialisms are a teen invention for twitter. I try to teach them
that IMHO, SWMBO, YMMV are all old enough to be the grandparents of
these teens.

My bet? A good decade to go.
