rec.crafts.metalworking

[Michael Koblic]

I have tried to look at the rec.crafts.metalworking newsgroup which came 
highly recomended through this list. After scanning for prolonged periods 
of time I get only 2 articles. Is anybody else having problems with this 
group? If so, what is the explanation? At least one other newsgroup 
behaves in a similar way ( rec.martial-arts). This behaviour seems 
independent of the news server (I have tried two - news.netbistro.com and 
news.bctel.ca with identical results).
