Where Did Everybody Go?
I was here for a number of years, but have been AWOL. Now the newsgroup is
primarily spam and not many LC posters. Where did everyone go? |

I've been on low carb for 8 years straight. This is my first time back in two years. Nope, wrong. This is a usenet group that *never* had a moderator. Back in the day, every ISP had its own news server, but now most have given up on usenet completely. Google groups is a ****-poor interface for usenet, but, because most ISPs have given up on usenet, only people who are very dedicated to specific groups have made alternative arrangements. You see the same drop-off in participation all across the news hierarchy. And a lot of former newsgroup participants are now involved with blogs and message-boards. -- "[xxx] has very definite opinions, and does not suffer fools lightly.

Certainly, your newsreader didn't give you a tabla rasa, when you opened alt.support.diet.low-carb. While it does seem like migration season for spammers through the site, above the noise, there are still conversations going on. You help not a whit by filling the site with your ****ing and moaning about the way things used to be. If you don't have anything to contribute, then at least don't be part of the problem. So, do you have anything to say about low-carb dieting that doesn't require a credit card number? Hmmm . . . ? -- - Billy "For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals, from the moment of conception until death." - Rachel Carson http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7843430.stm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WI29wVQN8Go |
