   In general, the best way to test whether a group is still active   
   and able to engage in discussions is to attempt to engage it in a   
   topical discussion.   
      
   For example, one might enquire whether there's any way to stop   
   Ubuntu's ridiculous habit of snatching focus with a window that   
   says, in effect, "just press ENTER to make an irrevocable   
   life-changing decision and if you happen to be typing while not   
   looking at your screen, tough shit."
