    Nope, I'm still here and lurking.

    I found the latest thread about the early squatters on Newfie
    of interest.

    I ignore multi-g's content-free posts and the constant
    "dating" (which isn't what they really mean) posts, which
    pretty much means 90% of what's been posted recently gets
    dumped into the trash bucket unread.

    But then most of the groups I check have been pretty sparse
    on real content these days too.

    Nyssa, who is hoping that the coming demise of Twitter will
    cause a few people who are clued in will return to Usenet
    eventually

    Am pretty much in the same boat though more skeptical on the last
    point.

    I still check in regularly for anything interesting.

    Nice to hear from you Nyssa.

    Nyssa, I'd really like it if former readers would return
    to Usenet / newsgroups.
    But I'm afraid they are gone for good.

    Gone (gone), gone
    Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday
    Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang-bang
    Gone like a '59 Cadillac
    Like all the good things, that ain't never comin' back
    She's gone (gone), gone (gone)
    Gone (gone), gone
    She's gone
    Long gone, don't be wrong
    Never comin' back, my baby's gone (she's gone)
    Wanna get home, sittin' alone
    So pack your bags, and now she's gone
    Never comin' back, she's gone
    No, no, never, no, no, never
    No, no, never, no, no never comin' back
    No, no, never, no, no never comin' back
