Too much going on nowadays, so I've unsubscribed from all but
a few groups which I've been reading and posting in, some for
many years. I'll still x-post to the usual suspects, but I've
found it much faster and easier to search articles by subject
header on the free news servers I use, merely to confirm that
my articles are getting through via the remailers in a timely
manner on busy groups which I'd previously killfiled to death.

I still read email, and I'll still occasionally post articles.
But reading these public usenet newsgroups has become tedious
and uninteresting, with only rare exceptions, And all groups
require elaborate filtering to winnow out the wheat from the
chaff, even the few to which I'm still subscribed, making me
think it won't be long before I unsubscribe to those, too...

Hi-speed multimedia Internet forums are much more attractive
these days... the calm before the storm. At least plain text
tends to last longer. That's why I'll keep posting to usenet
newsgroups, and corresponding by email, till I can no longer.

Mind the door/ass interface on your way out, Danny. Can't say I'll
miss you.
