Sorry, Henry, but Usenet really is dying. The interesting
conversation is happening on the web now.

Just read it, and it's excellent. I wonder who "anonymous" is.

Usenet isn't totally dead, but it sure has gone downhill since a
decade ago -- and the S/N was remarkably low even then. Oh, well, as
long as there's a searchable archive it's still useful as a filing
cabinet.
