One got busted.
Two retired.
Others got old and quit.etc.
Posters burn-out. Get fed-up with assholes, etc.

Stay Safe! Remember "Safety First!"
make sure you are anon thru 3 servers, etc.
Got pgp? Talk to Yardbird before you start posting.
I'm not telling you what to do, these are all suggestions.
I'm not questioning your intelligence, just Stay Safe!

> There is no way to know how many hits a group gets, is there?

If you have hours to do research, Start Here:
http://netscan.research.microsoft.com
Type in the group name and wait...wait..wait.
It takes a few moments.

Next try any/all of these:
http://usenetstats.com
http://news.gamma.ru/stats-week.html
http://news.gamma.ru/stats-today.html
www.newsadmin.com/usenet.asp
www.newsadmin.com/topbreads.asp

One of the above should give you what I think your looking for.

Above All.....have fun!
