What a relief.

A lot of newsgroups have died recently in favor of forums and
listserves. Even alt.religion.scientology is more or less vacant.

It's sad usenet is nearly dead. I loved it for many years.
The other, more hopeful, alternative is that more and more people are
beginning to see through the sham that is the 12 steps.

I do not visit as much as I used to. It's mostly because of how good
this group has been. After being "thugged" during a meeting by a 10-
year friend after his "spiritual awakening, I was able to walk away. I
was able to walk away because this group taught me how dishonest and
harmful fully converted AA members are. Thanks to everyone.

imposing AA attendance as the only alternative to jail for most people
who come before the courts and have a history of alcohol use.
The zeal of the convert can be quite abusive.
It's not quite so bad in England.
If you think usenet is dying, just look at uk.legal
Somehow uk.legal has attracted an entertaining mix of regulars and
occasionals, and it's thriving as ever.

decidedly over-enthusiastic with the vodka and lemonade.
Incredibly drunk and walking home they need to urinate. They were
near
a graveyard and one of them suggested they do it behind a headstone.
The first woman had nothing to wipe herself with so she took off her
knickers and used them and threw them away.
Her friend however was wearing an expensive underwear set and didn't
want to lost them, but was lucky enough to see a piece of paper on a
wreath nearby and proceeded to wipe herself with it.
After adjusting their clothing, the two ladies made their way home.
The next day the first woman's husband phones the other husband and
said,
"These damn "Girls' Nights Out" will have to stop. My wife came home
last night blind drunk with no knickers on."
"That's nothing," said the other husband. "Mine came back with a card
stuck inside her knickers that said:
'From all of us at the Football Club. You enriched our lives in many
ways. You are in our thoughts always.'"

A Texan buys a round of drinks for all in the bar because, he
announces, his wife has just produced "a typical Texas" baby boy
weighing 25 pounds. Congratulations showered him from all around, and
many exclamations of "WOW!" were heard.
Two weeks later, he returns to the bar.
The barman says, "Say, you're the father of the typical Texas baby
that weighed 25 pounds at birth. How much does he weigh now?"
The proud father answers, "Seventeen pounds."
The barman is puzzled.
"Why? What happened? He already weighed 25 pounds at birth!"
The proud Texas father takes a slow swig from his long-neck Lone Star
beer, wipes his lips on his shirt sleeve, leans over the bar and
proudly announces: "...had him circumcised."
