Activity here seems to have dropped off quite a bit. Is my news server not getting most messages - or is everyone out enjoying the nice weather?

Well, that's true of USENET generally. As us "old-timers" leave, the newcomers don't even know what newsgroups are, and think the only way to access the interweb tubes is through a web browser.
I'd heard that Comcast, or it could have been ATT, was going to drop usenet service
(I mean, how else could they make a REAL profit from their 'ONLY $29.999 a month" service fee. Comcast didn't have ANY Customer Support costs to begin with, so what's left that they could cut?)
Pity. Learned a lot here and over in rec.woodworking, and not just about woodworking.
