I used to have about 20+ groups that I frequented but over the years/decades people have left Usenet for web clients or social media or else ISPs have dropped Usenet support and they just die off. Now I have a few groups and even some of them are dwindling to a small core of nutjobs just arguing with each other over decade old fights. There are a couple of thriving groups but even they have been infiltrated by Usenet nutjobs who need an audience since they have contributed to the death of their previous groups. Sadly Usenet is in terminal decline. Andy
