   It used to be pretty busy, with IIRC weekly FAQ postings by Timo Salmi, but   
   he dropped the schedule to monthly around 5 years ago and stopped posting it   
   entirely maybe a year later. It was around that time that things started to   
   dry up.   
      
   The FAQ is still available on Prof. Salmi's site:   
      
     https://www.netikka.net/tsneti/info/tscmd.php   
      
   Almost any batch problem you can think of is covered in the FAQ.   
   Unfortunately, it doesn't cover things like "don't revive ancient threads".
