A 6" x 10' mural hangs in the Hallowed Halls of the Citizen's Business
Bank Arena in Ontario. And besides that, I taught The Beatles and Jimi
how to play. And besides that. I'm the only one who entered the 100
year old arena with a movie camera where I saw The Beatles play live
on August 28th, 1964. And I'm here from the most awesome band on earth
Nuclear Warrior.

And among other things I would say that makes me a celebrity. I am the
only one who matters in the writing department. On topic. And I have a
$7mil record-breaking guitar auction up on eBay right now.

I have 30 million hits to the Televisions and to Youtube regarding a
major newtork syndicated Television show I am doing. So suffice it to
say "I am the only only one who matters."

How about back the time when the majority of the posts were about the
Fabs?

Yes, I remember the Marek crap, Psycho Sal, Nick, etc. -- but you'd at
least find Beatles discussions on the front page using Google Groups.
I see three right now - out of thirty.

Monthly posting totals are down to their lowest level since 1993. You
think there might be a correlation?

Might be. Might also be:

1) Newsgroups are virtually dead, except for a handful that host evolving topics or debates. It's the social media age.

2) I think a lot of the old-timers simply ran out of things to say. I was never one of the major contributors to RMB, but I'm down to two or three posts per year now, down from maybe 20-30 per month in the old days.

Face it, there's a finite amount of information about the Beatles. How many times can we offer our one-disc version of the White Album, or debate the Paul-Is-Dead nonsense? Many of us said what we had to say during our first few years on the Internet, back in the '90s.

And, yeah, the trolls and idiots and OT posts have a lot to do with it also.

Fine points, but there are other forums with plenty of Beatles banter
-- Steve Hoffman's, for instance. No matter; I only stop by
occasionally to see if the cancer is in remission. It's obviously
taken over the body, and the actual Beatles fans in here just shrug.

Oh, and no backslaps from Fatass for you -- you didn't post anything
contrary. She loves the "enemy" of her enemies dearly, even if they
don't see themselves as such.

The Supernatural side of the Lifshine comes shining through again by

I've never had a problem with Mista Charlie. I didn't know his posts

I know this is an imposter, but I do wonder about the true intents of
this person. If you look at some of those poems, I think they take a
bit of work to compose. So, I sort of surmise that this is a creative
exercise for a writer.

These things just never bothered me.

Again, I'd like to see Fatts rehabilitated. She has made some
interesting Beatle related posts in the past.

Most times it's gossipy stuff and I know a lot of people frown on the
gossipy stuff. But, I think it's kind of like a box of chocolates.
Too much chocolate can make you spazz out, but every one likes a

I first posted here in the Spring of 1999...posters were complaining
about off topic posts then, and reminiscing about the "good old days"
of 1995.

Nothing has changed...in fact, despite off topic posts, I think
present day posts are much more Beatles relevant than the days of
Marek and Francie.

I don't know about that Marcus. You're saying that people go to
Facebook when they want to talk about the Beatles?

I doubt that. I think that there is a great number of people that read
this forum that don't post.

Content would probably make them post.

How about, what was the play order on the double cassette of The White
Album? I've lost one or more of the covers and can't remember entirely.
But I do recall very well that Revolution 9 concluded side 3 and wasn't
on side 4 which I think works better, on side 3. And Cry Baby Cry was
followed by Mother Natures Son, then Revolution 9. It worked better.
A web search has been futile.
This difference was on all 4 sides.

I might have Cry Baby Cry and Mother Natures Son order in reverse.
I found this, but it still isn't entirely the same as an Australian
release on cassette.
Actually, I think they have the order wrong on this. It had two
cassettes with 4 sides, not two sides only as here. Sides 3 and 4 are
reversed here from what I had.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/BtleCas3.html#Rearranged
Side 3 started with Birthday, then this is the same one from there.
I got my copy on cassette in about 1979 or 1978.
I think it should be Happiness is a Warm Gun starting side 3. I always
recall that song being more prominent in the running order than in the
more well known one.
I think it would be interesting to hear the White album in this running
order, remembering to have song 8. on the 'B Side' as the first song on
side 3 instead of side 4 as here.
Note Long Long Long ending side 2, which works quite well, and Goodnight
still ends the album.
Side 3 for Revolution 9 changes the feel of the album.

What I meant is that people go to Facebook for any reason...Beatles or
otherwise...much more than use Usenet.

That's the reason why Usenet participation, and emails are not as

Gee, I never thought to look on Facebook for the Beatles. But, like I
said, I think there are a lot of people that continue to look at this
newsgroup but do not post.

It's not just facebook. People use their iPhones and iPads quite a
bit for things. Words For Friends. Stupid games. The only reason I
started posting again is I happened to need my laptop on the table to
watch an instructional dvd. If I put the laptop back to where it
usually sits, I would have continued using my iPad for browsing and
would never have come back here.

I don't use Facebook. I don't rule out using at some point in the

need to know what all my "friends" are doing at any given moment.
Also, I find the whole concept to be like something out of "1984".

Really? I didn't know one could do that.

I'm writing a book ( I write one every 20 years or so whether I need
to or not), and I will probably do a Facebook page for the book, as
opposed to one for myself.

Although, at this point, I don't know how to do that...but will learn.

All you need for a Facebook page is a valid email address. You can
register the page under any name you want.

I just figure it's better to keep a low profile. If con artists and
thieves don't have you real name to begin with, what can they do? On
the other hand, if they have your real name, they can start hunting
for more information.

Trunuff dat. However, over the years, it's seemed like whenever a ng dwindled away abruptly, it was generally pretty easy to determine what new, better forum was drawing the regulars away.

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist (though my gf & I occasionally go out to dinner with Alex Jones and his lovely wife) but I've always had a creepy feeling that "The New Google Groups" was intended from day one as some sort of rapid self-immolation plan. At the very LEAST, the noogoogroops have failed miserably at increasing traffic!

As far as the subject of Beatledom being "finite" I'm not so sure about that -- the reason I stopped being a Beatles "collector" is because, to put it simply, that's a game you can NEVER hope to win!

Lethal? Really?

MySpace was never much of a discussion medium. And AOL? What fraction of
usenet participants do you figure were using AOL by 2005? I'd think that
fraction would be pretty small.

Most of the newsgroups' participation is diminishing rapidly, which pretty
much rules out the "hate-speaking twins". And as far as any factor specific
to RMB, I'd think the fact that most Beatles-related material has already
been re-hashed ad nauseam would trump anything else.

One of the most active musician-oriented newsgroups (alt.guitar) had over
half its regulars move en masse to a "private" Facebook group. It's even
more active there than it was in its original form. The very threat of
moderation keeps the trolls out. Yet nobody who participates has been
bounced from its inception. I think this is a decent model, but it requires
Facebook participation (and use of real names)which is a turn-off to some.

A similar effort to create a Beatles-related Facebook group has been a flop
by comparison (although I note today Brilton said on the group that he's
giving up on RMB, partially because bigpond, Australia's large ISP, just
switched off their usenet newsfeeds).

So it's really a whole lot of factors. Usenet's dying but it's not going
away slowly, and it's not clear whether it'll be really dead before I am.

I know this is an imposter, but I do wonder about the true intents of
this person. If you look at some of those poems, I think they take a
bit of work to compose. So, I sort of surmise that this is a creative
exercise for a writer.

These things just never bothered me.

Again, I'd like to see Fatts rehabilitated. She has made some
interesting Beatle related posts in the past.

Most times it's gossipy stuff and I know a lot of people frown on the
gossipy stuff. But, I think it's kind of like a box of chocolates.
Too much chocolate can make you spazz out, but every one likes a
little chocolate now and then.

Yes, the rumors are true. I am the only one who matters in music, thank you.

YO is a manipulative, money grabbing, fame thirsty, Beatle breaker-upper..
Charlie is in fact Charlie..I didn't think he was either but he is!!
Rags is Rags AFAIK...

Usenet is out of favour (by me anyhows) because of the ease of anonymity...you know the way that folk hide themselves behind a computer cloak..it's less easy to do that via FB...and it's much easier to block (KF) people..same with YT...(YT is dead easy..any grief and it's a Block User Delete Post situation and they are gone forever!)

Saying that I imagine the authorities have contacted my (and Jazzy's) personal troll as he seems to have disappeared..so maybe Google groups is actually getting it's act together.

I agree that there's only so much Beatle talk to do before you run out..though I liked the bit about the running order of the WA cassette!!

I've never seen a post in here suggesting Yoko is inherently evil.
Was Yoko born this way or warped be experiences? The question might
make for good debate, but I don't think it has been much addressed,
let alone repeated, that her ethically dubious behavior is intrinsic.

People will be more inclined to "stop" when you demonstrate you can
behave. Are you capable of participating here without insulting other
people? If so, show us. Let's see if
you can be civil for a whole week.

I didn't invite them into the shower but once there, they got
naturally curious. Kids like to explore. One of the reasons kids go
to camp is sex ed. But make no mistake, it was NOT kiddie korn!
They're all adults now worshipping at the altar of their Lord and
Savior SCOTT LIFSHINE. They are tuned into the NEW INTELLECT.
