   Sorry if I offended, I didn't know about 236-groups, will   
   find out. I picked this one because it seemed pretty dead.   
   I had trouble with my news freader, that wouldn't let me   
   post for a bit. It has now reconsidered and ll is well.   
      
   But there are certainly a lot of live ngs though.
