I sure would love to revitalize this group with my presence. Most of you won't remember this but there was a time when this group was the preeminent source of online woodturning discussion. Stubby was King, Oneway was supporting terror, and Robust wasn't even a glimmer in Brent's eye yet. The likes of myself, Lyn, Arch, Ruth, Paul, DJ, and Leiv lived here and blessed it with a fountain of knowledge that can't be matched by the Facebook groups that are currently all the rage. There are many reasons for the decline here.. Most notably the Utah Faction. Most of you won't know about this conspiracy but be certain it's alive and well. I can't do this alone though. I need your help. Only I spearhead this and I'm prepared toself finance. I pledge not to take any special interest money. Join me in making RCW great again.
God Bless,

My local ISP deleted access to Usenet and I was forced to go the Google Groups route. As most others have said, I much prefer this medium, rather than the "walking down the hall and shouting at the people in the side rooms" experience that Facebook is. I keep a monitor on this group, but just wish there was more interaction.
