Not at all. If you've been here a while you'll remember a lot of names. Those folks are just as active as ever - elsewhere.

What? On "Rec.Models.Railroad.and.Grumpy.Old.Men"? Never.
Just learn to use the Del Key, or filter, and feel sorry for those who have nothing intelligent to say about anything in life.
Even so, it annoys me too, because I have to spend the time to get rid of their chaf so I can read the seed.

Why don't you try a forum? If the content of a discussion gets out of order, the moderator usually takes action. Greets, ZandPilooT
When are you and "He who cannot be mentioned" going to fight another round? Y'all need a timekeeper to ring the bell.

LOL!
Good advice, this.

Probably never, if I have anything to do with it.
But in all fairness, at least Terry contribute to the discussion, and a lot of what he posts is quite useful - yes, even I will acknowledge that.
Cheers,
Mark.

No, you're not alone, but that's what filters are for.... :-)
They're not for sissies.
No likee, no clickee.

I frequently post to rec.arts.movies.past-films and, in general, the tone is much more positive. There are few negative posts. Is it something about our hobby that attracts people who complain? Or, are they just more vocal here?
What are newsgroups for? In general, like the internet itself, instant information. Someone recently posted their happiness at being able to post a question and a few hours later receiving many answers.

No, it's not just this hobby. I see worse than this in the photography newsgroups, and some of the music artists related newsgroups.
