Hello!

Looking at recent stuff in this newsgroup, I'm wondering:
is it worth asking real, serious questions in this
newsgroup?

Define "worth" in this context. What do you hope to gain from posting
to usenet?

Or is this newsgroup now a basket-case?

Well, this newsgroup was created (in part) to attract anti-relativists
away from other newsgroups, so that some sort of other discussion
could occur elsewhere. So if you are looking for a fight, you can get
that here. If you are looking for answers, you will get both good and
bad. Just like at any bar.

LOL. Nicely put.
