   Dave (aka The Doctor, aka Yads) posts monthly stats posts to all   
   of the newsgroups that he frequents, and has done so for many a   
   year... some find them annoying, some find them interesting.   
      
   Generally, the posting number trend is downwards, say from 10   
   years ago, but a good few groups are still healthy enough.   
      
   It's not Usenet that is dying per se, it's more the people using   
   it! I assume the Usenet network will still be there long after   
   we have all passed.
