I agree. I've been participating in newsgroups since '98. I was on
Compuserve before that. The explosion of blog culture seems to have
killed the interactive board world and many of my favorite groups have
been taken over by people with severe mental problems who are no longer
drowned out by saner voices. sigh This group still seems to have some
life in it. . .
