Is this place done?

Hello everyone,

I have been watching rec.norm for over 10 years. I used to be a frequent
poster, but now I don't have the time. I drop in from time to time to see
what is up, and recently it does not seem to be much.

Has the dropping of usenet by so many ISP's caused the death of rec.norm?

Sad.

David.

Check your provider, David. I'm seeing lots of posts by lots of people,
that keep the wreck and interesting place.

Of course, your saying "I don't have the time" says a lot. What,
exactly are you expecting that would somehow cause you to have the
time?

If you don't you don't. Best wishes and good sailing!

The people who find they have the time are still here. The people who
find they no longer have the time are not.

So it goes.

Naa.. the place is alive and well, just that the boys have been busy
revving up their margarita machines...

I think the above has contributed to the reduction of posts. I'm
reluctant to call it the death of the rec. You remember what Mark
Twain said...
