Is this group simply dying
Don't forget that ISP's are killing our netnews etc names.
They don't think taking out one or a few thread subjects would keep them from fines. The audio / video scam that has been going on. Consolidated after merging (takeovers) dumped the news feeds without notice or reduction in fees. I did get a notice of voice over internet bundled with DSL for a newer price. We are considering pending answers on implementations. Martin Fred Holder wrote: Wow!! Maybe it is just reading the newsgroup via Google is why it looks so dead. I thought my post never even made it to the newsgroup. What a bunch of discussion it triggered. Maybe I have to come up with another way to access the newsgroup. I just found this list of discussions on Google showing a new bunch of postings. I had backed off from posting for awhile because there was a fellow on the group that was attacking me on nearly every post, even e-mailing me with nasty messages. I've been reading the newsgroup pretty much since it started and have been posting to it for over 10 years. Apparently, it is not dead at all only the way in which I'm getting the messages. Thanks all. Fred Holder http://www.morewoodturning.net On Oct 28, 4:53 am, Ted wrote: I'd like to give an alternative possibility. I have been regularly monitoring and occasionally posting to this newsgroup for about 7 years. I have learned a lot from all of you during that time. But now I am more confident and fairly competent in my turning than I was 7 years ago. I have a lot less questions and spend more time turning. I wonder if one of the reasons that their is less activity is because more and more of us turners that lurk in the shadows are better turners than we were and we don't always need as much help. If their is no new blood joining this group that needs help then all we can do is talk to each other. Instead we are busy turning (or doing other somewhat important tasks). It may be that we need to recruit. I think that this group does much better when their are a lot of questions being asked. If their is no one asking questions then the group slowly dies off or at least it becomes a lot less active. Just a thought. Ted |
