I participate in about 10 newsgroups. For most of this year, the wreck has been the only one with any traffic. And even it has gone from almost
100 posts a day down to 15 or 20.The woodworking content has gotten even less. Most of the messages are tea party members reinforcing each others paranoia.
To all of you who have provided good woodworking advice in the past, thank you. I've even enjoyed, and taken part in, some of the more civilized political discussions. Thanks for those as well.
But I think it's time to bite the bullet and look for a different online woodworking community. I'll probably start at Yahoo groups since I already am a member of several groups there. But if anyone has some other woodworking group they like, I'm open to suggestions.
