Is it now politically incorrect to use the newsgroup vmsnet.decus.lugs?

Sure has been quiet lately.

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
