Today when I logged onto the group, there were only FOUR new messages. I can remember when rms ran about 200-300 messages a day.
While maybe the message count really is dropping this low, I thought of another possibility. My ISP has stopped supporting newsgroups, but I discovered Google Groups. While some groups may not be part of Usenet, mostly GG is a web-based interface with Usenet newsgroups. But.... I do not know for sure that GG really shows ALL Usenet messages. For those of you still using a news reader interface, is the message count REALLY getting that low, or is it just that GG is not that much better than my ISP as far as Usenet interface is concerned?
