I thought it was time to add to the confusion. At the time of writing my news
reader tells me that I have 114 contributions to this thread. I can not be
bothered to count how many different authors have contributed, but it has
been a reasonable number. Yes it would be good if more people recognised how
useful news groups were, but the number of contributions suggest that this
group is far from dying. As a retired professional engineer I also follow
some engineering newsgroups, and as an eccentric computer enthusiast I also
follow the comp.sys.acorn set of news groups. The computer ones are fairly
active, but the engineering ones are nearly dead.

uk.rec.models.engineering is gliding along, and by no means restricted
to models.
