Default And we thought r.b.p. was dead!

I peek in this morning and see 10 new messages, in 1 old and 8 new
threads! How cool is that?

Where would paddling be without the British Secret Cervix?

SPAM does NOT count as legitimate NG traffic!

True, but how does SPAM affect views?
Google.com says that we've had 133 views over the past 5 hours, which
is 26.6 views per hour. For comparison, another group I hang out on
has had 742 views over the past 21 hours, which is only 35.3 views per
hour, a slight increase, and that group is quite lively.

I wonder if we just have more lurkers instead of posters than we used
to. If so, why would that be? We're not at all a hostile group...

I lurk more than I post because, while I have a lot of fun kayaking, lazing
down a mellow river in the moonlight doesn't make for very exciting trip
reports.

When things other than that come up (like this post), I've got something to
contribute (i.e., why someone lurks but doesn't post, even though nobody
here is scary).

Isn't that "133 views" only Google readers? I would think that figure
would be only a small fraction of total views. Me for instance. I
can't imagine trying to read newsgroups without a proper newsreader.

And, I might add, hostile groups tend to attract posters.
Unfortunately, they're usually the wrong kind.

I did, to access several newsgroups that still have not appeared
on my normal ISP's news server, such as rec.boats.paddle.whitewater.
But the Groups.Google interface is SO BAAAAD and SO SLOOOOOOOW
that I gave up.

Are those Google views per hour accounting for Groups.Google only?

Some - probably the same folks that enjoy having a tooth filled.

Most miserable interface I've encountered yet, bar none.

In many parts of the world, its hard to find a free newsreader.
Deja.com is fine for me.
