I don't blame you for not posting anymore. When it comes to the
internet, it's all too easy to just take and not give back, whether by
posting or just replying. I'm guilty of that.
And yes, I agree that usenet is becoming less relevant. I've been on
it for 15 years and there just seems to be less content as time has
progressed. It seems like the focus has shifted to forums like
usenet4all instead of individiual posters. A lot of times I'll see
posts on these forums where the "spotter" will get the thanks but not
the original poster.
Good luck to you. In the future I'll try harder and say thanks to
other posters.
