If anyone is in here then Hello! Post back!
Hi Wanda,
I check in every couple of months just to see what's what around here.
I guess I must have checked a little before you made this last post. I
sure miss the good ol' days when this place was a hub of activity and
information. But people have moved on to the Web which, even though
it can't can't offer the variety and range of information and opinions
that usenet used to offer. It can offer better relief from the
spammers and trolls that are bothersome for legitimate readers who
couldn't figure out how to filter their messages. I think the popular
move from Usenet to the Web is a textbook case of the baby being
thrown out with the bathwater.

Anyhow, I'm glad to see somebody besides me checking in here now and
then. When I check, I never expect to see activity here like it has
been in the past. But if usenet ever makes a comeback, I certainly
don't want to miss it! lol!

I hope you're doing well :-)

Hi M2! Glad to see you still checking in! I'm doing ok myself. Yeah, I just
check in here every so often myself. I think many people went to Yoshi's
site. I guess I need to look it up just to see what's going on there.
So...we will both keep checking in to see if there has been the big
comeback! Lol!

Yoshi has a prettty good size Yahoo Group going on but not many over
there are old timers from here. I see Tim post once in a great while
and I post now and then. And Yoshi of course. But the other active
posters there aren't former usenet junkies as far as I know. None of
the ones I've talked to have ever even heard of usenet. lol! I think
the peeps from here have scattered in the wind and many have just
found something better to do. Or maybe they're lost in the crowd on
Facebook like everybody else.
But heck yeah, just sign up at Picking Up the Pieces and chime right
in. :-)
