It has been six months. Does anyone have any information about Henry?

He posts daily to Arocket. I suspect that he's just decided that the
newsgroups aren't worth the trouble any more.

It is a bad, and possibly historic, moment when one of the gentle men
who helped create Usenet decides to abandon it.

Why are you still posting here Ed? On NASASpaceflight your comments
get appreciated.

Granted Google Groups lays out and presents discussion better than
Spaceflight.com, but without moderation, usenet is descending into
complete dross. Five years ago we had good debates, but now everyone
with a computer is an expert on space flight. Spaceflight.com still
has some real maths which scares off 95% of the population, and its
bit too reverent of NASA.....
