afda is far from dead... but it's demographics seem to differ from the
other newsgroups I lurk in.
in other groups, the people who remain seem to be ardent usenetters, and
there is a high level of cross posting and cross-group community.
Here, otoh, I think we have a lot of people (well, some, anyway) who
check in occasionally, and rarely crosspost :)
otoh, I suspect we may well be breaking records for threads by both
depth of thread nesting, and dates spanned :)
