I now have a reliable news feed, but I am still getting indications of low traffic. There were only 45 new messages today. A few years ago rms was running 150-200 messages a day. Was Usenet a fad with modelers, or what? Is modeling declining? Went to a modeling show/contest Saturday and participation was down 1/3 from last year.
Where is everyone?

I come here nearly every day, and have somewhere between 50 and 150 on an average day, sort out the weirdest OT treads and you'll have maybe 100 - 150 a week that covers your interest, and you have interest in severl types of model, them doubble or tripple that number.
I've recently migrated my newsreading from AOL to news.verizon and read them through Outlook Express at the moment. Tonight I see about 65 or so new posts; quite an improvement over AOL's newsreader over the past couple weeks.

Online ya mean... hmmm... I'm either tickling info out of search engines or reading mainstream news outlets and online columnists. Googling less and Yahooing more these days thanks to Google's sucky new Ad Sense format.

Look at, fondle, smell all of those kits. Try to avoid buying more N gauge train stuff. Go through the boxes of decals and detailing parts.
