   I completely agree Adam. I really don't know why it declined. I still go on   
   a few newsgroups that Ive been on for many years, and some of the same   
   people that went there years ago, still post there, but not nearly as   
   active. I can only guess that most people who used to post on newsgroups got   
   tired of newsgroups and wanted a change and they went to Facebook or Twitter   
   and like it there. Each to his own I guess.
