Has the group been very quiet lately or is my ISP dropping messages? In the past week or so, the usual dozens of messages a day have fallen off to just a few per day, at least on my ISP's server.

I don't know. However, roadrunner and comcast recently announced they would stop providing NNTP service. I had to find another server. I'm using GLORB.com for $10 a year.
Here I is. I've been hiding behind the table saw in front of the lathe.
The good thing is the spammers seem to have gone away too.

OTOH, my guess would be that the when the big ISPs dropped this or all newsgroups, only the hardcore folks found other newsgroup feeds..

Anyone else thinking about running lights out to the garden so they can enjoy the wRECk during the heat of the day (when you want to be either asleep or in the air conditioning)?

Neighbors really think your a bit odd when you do......But for years (before getting sick) because of work and sleep demands much of my yard work was after dark...it takes some effort to control glare and shadows. Back when the kids were still kids, I and a friend built a wood platform/playhouse and
17 ft slide, much of it after dark.....one night at 2am it dawned on us that maybe a framing hammer and skill saw at that hour was not quite respecting my neighbors (no complaints though)...nonetheless for ever more I've been a bit more noise conscious. Old habits die hard, as last week I was potting plants at midnight mostly to avoid the heat of the day and to get the dang things done.
