   It's only averaging about 10 posts per day  ;-)   
      
   But how does it work?   
      
   Do you read using a normal newreader and a no-posting server? And how   
   does the 'mail2news' work?

   That's a rather bleak outlook, isn't it?   
      
   I don't doubt that that will be the ultimate fate, but I don't think   
   we're quite there yet -- the discussions over the past month have   
   convinced me that there is still a future for usenet, though it is, and   
   will probably never be, the vigorous, vibrant place it was around the   
   turn of the millennium.   
      
   New newsgroups are still being made and recieve traffic --   
   sci.physics.foundations is from 2007 and has a reasonable amount of   
   traffic (more than RABT & AFT in any case).

   Please put [AFT], [RABT] or 'Tolkien' in subject.
