I understand where you're coming from as a l-o-n-g time poster
to another group. I've always preferred to lurk here(guilty) so I
just want to say thank you for all you've done.
I always stay behind in this group(no excuse) so even if I was
commenting it would be a day late & a dollar short.
It takes a special type of person to share. Extinction
imminent then for Usenet? I wouldn't stick a fork in it yet.
I still like to edit these down even further which takes me
even longer to process. I still have posts saved from February I
haven't viewed yet! Maybe I'll never get back to those.
So sad to see another great poster disappear! I could always
count on this group for a good wank.
