If my memory serves me correctly then about 65 of the 68 postings in that group were part of the the, errm, flame war that erupted when it was created. Traffic related to the stated purpose of the group has always been light. Of course it could be that people have been using Distribution headers properly and so I haven't seen much in the way of announcements from groups in the US. However, long experience of Usenet tells me that this is unlikely :-) Neil. -- Phone: +44 71 528 8282 E-mail: nreadwin@micrognosis.co.uk Anything is a cause for sorrow that my mind or body has made
