Don't recognise any names. Pete Whincup For some reason, if you ask a question here people will email you responses but they don't answer on the board. I don't know why that is. Well, I've been though this 1,998,976.33 times but here's the rounding up .66th time. Once upon a time the newsgroup was linked to a mailing list. Each got posts that went to the other and it was all one big happy family. Then, the link broke and it seems unfixable in its current incarnation (we're working on another solution!). So, no, the newsgroup messages reach the mailing list, but the mailing list replies (or orgional posts) don't get to the newsgroup. Folks who ask question on the NG and are answered by someone on the mailing list, get the individual e-mail response because the mailing list is set up to send all posters an individual response as well as sending one to the mailing list (which doesn't make it to the NG). Ill also post this on the NG, so mailing listees will get it twice. :-( To answer your original question, the traffic is way down -- perhaps 10-20 messages a week instead of the 50 a day we got 4 years ago and before.
