Or is it just this group?
Google is the only way I can access during the day, and I kinda like it. |

The execution was less than perfect, for sure. We may never know the challenges they are up against in repackaging USENET like that. I'm concerned that without a powerful corporate sponsor, USENET might continue it's decline. --Winston |

(...) This is the actual svg: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...y_%28en%29.svg (I bet you can't see it in Seamonkey 2.0.11.) That is much prettier than the link I cited. Thanks! Looks great in Seamonkey 2.0.11. (That'll be 0.1 'RCM Attaboy'.) As to the content. It claims to represent posts per day and parenthetically GB per day. It can't be both. I'd bet on GB per day. A safe bet. ![]() Clarification: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/de/PiratesVsTemp(en).svg/500px-PiratesVsTemp(en).svg The NUMBER of posts is probaby going down while the volume of binary content is going up. I DAGS but wasn't able to get a handle on the sheer number of USENET posts v. volume. Sometimes fewer posts are better. Of the top 20 RCM posters, 8 live in my plonkfile. The remainder are a continuing source of compelling information and inspiration. The data is from alltopia and they do carry binaries after all. Thanks for that link btw. :-) Soitny. ![]() --Winston |

Shrug Gunner -- "The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince". |
