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! John Kuthe... 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... --riverman |

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). Cricket |

We're not at all a hostile group... 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. Rick |

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? |
