This is the busiest NG I visit! Wonder if it's one of the
busiest on the Net?

Anybody (with too much time on their hands!) ever do a
study of messages per unit time?

Much to my surprise, it is.

Looks like the busiest (not counting posts by bots, spam, misplaced
binaries, tech support groups, or test groups) English language text
newsgroups, as of today, a

alt.fan.harry-potter
alt.atheism
rec.autos.sport.f1
alt.recovery.adult-children
alt.support.depression
alt.gossip.celebrities
alt.religion.scientology
rec.games.pinball

Hey, thanks for that URL! Loaded with information.

How did you isolate the busiest, per your research above --
eliminating certain crap - er...criteria?

I guess we should be appropriately, humble, placed BELOW the
salt ...er...scientology...VBG

Not long ago, this was one of the lamest groups. I don't get it . The
guy that started it sold his webtv and gave up the as the groups
moderator and it took off??

Not every moderated group has moderated in its name, but this group is
not moderated now. Was it ever?

Maybe I called it wrong. But he was the guy who started the group and
'would' refer to himself as it's moderator as well.. Not unusual to see
less than 100 posts back then..

Since when has an ALT group been moderated?

Just the other day I was asking myself; self? Why is this group called
the wreck?

Can you tell the world why this is so?
