Very much so, but been out in the garden taking advantage of a couple
of days of fine weather to get beds weeded and garden ready for
winter. But like Usenet generally, I suspect this group is on the
decline; everyone's moving to blogs these days, it seems.

Yes Chris, unfortunately they are. My landrover group which was very
busy has died completely, I've tried the blogs they have moved too and
not to my liking. Suspect it's that most people use web based mail and
never configure an email client let alone try to get to Newsgroups
which they probably have never heard of. Suits the ISPs too.
