Unfortunately there is not a lot of discussion about gardening here
anymore.

The great majority of threads that I see are about gardening. The minority
go off topic. Some of those get heated. When did it happen otherwise on
usenet?


That's especially true of threads that conatin certain nyms.
Many people that used to chime in with reliable info have moved on, do
in large part to the faith based diatribes.



How many of those who used to chime in are you in contact with? How do you
know this is the reason they moved on?
