Re: SPAM (again)

| Now, Fortran Resources forum is ALL spam ( I think the owner gave up).
| Alt-comp-lang-fortran is all spam.
Hasn't been anything posted at alt.comp.lang.fortran for yonks.
| Fortran_ is moderated (currently by me) and has NO spam, but no
| postings either.
Fortran_ is a Google group, not a newsgroup.
I see some posting there.

One degree more at a time does not seem alarming to the crab,
but you know the beast is gonna die!
Which is something I regret.
Neither the use of a newsreader will avert the demise of CLF,
since, as shown, no newcomer will stay,
nor will migration to a new platform,
since no-one is coming...
CLF is a dinosaur. But a dear one!
Merry X-mas!

Why are you so pessimistic?
CLF - and by implication Fortran - does not have to become a dinosaur.
Part of marketing Fortran should include making discussions on Fortran
more accessible to potential neophytes. This includes dealing with the
spam problem in clf as neophytes are likely to make first contact
through Google Groups. I suggested sometime ago that the "statesmen"
of the group take up the matter directly with Google, but no one
followed up positively on that suggestion. Could this be because a
viper made the suggestion? ;-)
