There is nothing 'wrong with' your OS, agent, or NSP. This froup is
very quiet.

I see more activity in other linux groups I visit, such as aol & aol.mint.

The ubuntu forum, otoh, is very active. Historically, if I ask a
question in a newsgroup when I haven't been able to find an answer by
looking around elsewhere, and feel that I 'have to' ask my question in a
web forum, and then I get an answer there because there is more
'attention' in the web forum, I have always come back to the newsgroup
and posted my solution, in an effort to keep my /preferred/ exchange
method alive and well.

Times change; people's behaviors change. Some of the people who 'used
to' be active in newsgroups don't do that anymore.

Also, if you are looking for help for a question, searching in the Ub
web forum is a pretty good source of information. There are some very
strong 'advisors' there.

Oh it is active but not hyperative.
July 3 is the last one aside from your post
I see. I see Mike Easter replied to you but cannot
read his remarks.

Well, I've got TBird/Win10/eternal-sept
And the last thread (before this) was "Samba and Windows 10"
First post in thread 17/07, last post 28/07
So, something wrong with your setup?

I don't sort by 'threaded' references; I prefer to sort by date
unthreaded; that way I see the msg/s ordered chronologically. If for
some reason I need to 're-thread' I sort by subject chronologically. It
is rare that I actually need to sort threaded in the case of changing
subjects of a 'references' thread.

Thanks to all who responded. I have to admit that I *thought* I wrote
"..July 31..." not "...July 3 ..." Still,
until you all posted, I haven't seen a message during August. As you
all indicated, neither have you! So I feel OK now. I'll take my meds
and go to sleep... :)

The sad truth is that even in linuxland too few afficionados are aware
of the fact that the disapearance of usenet is a desired endpoint if for
no other reason than for censurabilty and add revenue both of which come
very easy on a web forum. The private usenet interests should IMO devise
a plan for low-flame adds to inject new life into this last mohican of
freedom of speech.

Anonymity is the sole reliable witness of real society, be the image
good or bad, and of free speech, two things without which the truth
cannot be known but the intent of those opposing them can.
