Just for old times sake.
Is there anyone out there?
No, the group is pretty much dead. Nothing but spam. And once in a
while, maybe once a year, someone posts a real message, and sometimes
it's answered within a few months. Communication continues through
blogs and emails to some extent, but the group itself is no more.
It might be tempting to blame our "friend" for destroying the group,
but I think Usenet as a whole is past its useful life already.
As for us, those of our kids who aren't grown up yet are now in the
school system, so our family is not home-schooling any more. But the
next generation is getting into it now.
