    Is this group still working? Haven't seen a message all week.

    I don't know which is worse, the time when this group was so busy
    that nobody could read all the posts (and I for one had to resort to
    killfiling all posts that mentioned Bush), or the current time when
    the group is so quiet that important fannish news and issues aren't
    even mentioned here.

    I'm hoping that all the censorship, excessive ads, random changes, and
    hostile ownership of so-called social networks will result in a return
    to the open, unowned, and uncensored parts of the net, which of course
    includes Usenet.

    I know that at least one prolific poster is temporarily offline
    because of attending a filk convention in Germany.

    ARE there important fannish news and issues?

    I mean besides everyone waiting for Hugo packets so they can finally
    read the three otherwise-unavailable stories...

    Important for those of us who care about conventions, fandom, and
    individual fans, yes.

    For what it's worth, I know not much for some of youall, but if the
    whovians are still cross-posting here, there should be some activity
    today or tomorrow as the new season (series for you Brits) starts
    today.
