   Dying? Maybe not. I think there will be nostalgics that will keep some   
   around.   
      
   Mainstream? Never again!   
      
   I think it never was.   
      
   Do we want it mainstream? Probably not! Lets face it.   
      
   But it has it's public. The sysops.   
      
   We where one or wanted to be one. Others? They just wanted the stuff   
   whatever it was presented to them. The easier the better. That's why   
   they left.   
      
   Sometime they come back for the nostalgia, for a little while.
