Nope, I'm still here and lurking.

I found the latest thread about the early squatters on Newfie
of interest.

I ignore multi-g's content-free posts and the constant
"dating" (which isn't what they really mean) posts, which
pretty much means 90% of what's been posted recently gets
dumped into the trash bucket unread.

But then most of the groups I check have been pretty sparse
on real content these days too.

Nyssa, who is hoping that the coming demise of Twitter will
cause a few people who are clued in will return to Usenet
eventually

Am pretty much in the same boat though more skeptical on the last
point.

Nice to hear from you Nyssa.

Nyssa, I'd really like it if former readers would return
to Usenet / newsgroups.
But I'm afraid they are gone for good.

Gone (gone), gone
Gone like a freight train, gone like yesterday
Gone like a soldier in the Civil War, bang-bang
Gone like a '59 Cadillac
Like all the good things, that ain't never comin' back
She's gone (gone), gone (gone)
Gone (gone), gone
She's gone
Long gone, don't be wrong
Never comin' back, my baby's gone (she's gone)
Wanna get home, sittin' alone
So pack your bags, and now she's gone
Never comin' back, she's gone
No, no, never, no, no, never
No, no, never, no, no never comin' back
No, no, never, no, no never comin' back
