Re: Roll Call for Fiero Newsgroup

I see other newsgroups loosing member****p also.
Here is what I posted in response to other people's assertion that a 
particularly obnoxious person was killing the group.  That group is part
of 
the usenet rec.s****ts family so it has a stronger sell to most carriers
than 
the alt series.

I think that the vast majority of internet users have no clue that the
usenet exists or how to communicate on it.
The Yahoo groups are growing more popular and I think are better known.
People can go to a common location and use a search engine to find the
details about what the groups are about and can use several methods to
view
them.
I find it surprising that Google's groups (which would have increased the
use of the usenet groups through their linking) have not taken off.
Probably just that Yahoo got their first and have a really good interface.
I had considered making a Yahoo group to act as a new version of this
group.
One slight advantage is that people who post as trolls or just to insult
others can be removed along with the problem messages.
