Even the smallest effort can keep a newsgroup alive. For whatever reason, a lot of people don't like to create new threads, preferring only to respond to existing posts. But if nobody posts, there's no traffic. No traffic, no reason to read. No reason to read, people stop visiting. And then the newsgroup dies. But even an occassional post can keep a newsgroup going on indefinitely. More posts encourage others to step up and start their own threads. People come back, participate. There's a lot of lurkers out there just waiting for a reason to keep reading Usenet. So thank you for your posts. Usenet is a precious resource and something close to my heart, and anything to keep it alive is quite welcome. (I just wish I had more to say about frp.dnd... but I'm barely involved in the game anymore and completely out of touch with the latest trends. I mean, I guess we could rehash old issues, like: who would in a fight, Drizzt Duorden or Elminster? ;-)
