Well, on the subject of Usenet since I have been forwarding stuff of interest to the list from there for a while, maybe I can say a few things. First, there has been quite a decline in the number of postings there, even the last few months the number has gone down a lot. I haven't forwarded much here in the last few weeks. Also, many of the posts (1/3 to 1/2 I'd say) are simply pointers to auctions, which I don't forward. These posts seem to annoy some of the regulars there, but since they are allowed in the charter there isn't much they can do about them.
