There is so little astronomy being posted to this group that I am
starting to wonder if there is any point continuing to post here.

Although the number of hits per day on my web site continues to climb
the percentage of hits that come via Google groups has declined quite
steeply in recent weeks. Perhaps amateur astronomers are moving away
from the unmoderated mess that Google groups has become?

Newsgroups have been around for a good few years,

That's a bit of an understatement they predate the Internet.

As do I, and - I suspect - you too.

Oh for the good old Fidonet Echo days!
