Gord,

Many of the echoes I subscribed to were quiet even before Bob Juge's system
went down but I note the the traffic in echoes like Irex and Z1C has simply
shrivelled.

Other echoes haven't done any better and even the autoposts are no longer
being made.  And there is nothing of use in the Snooze  -- thinking of
which did you get Ward Dossche's bizarre netmail about no. 39?

That's what I would do if I could find something to read. :-(  I don't
think I'm going to head for a newsgroup but my guess is that I would find
more action there.

Take care,
