Say what you like about Brinner's movie reviews (and I do), they're
the only non-statistic thing in the, uh, statistics.

Saving the brucebot from going blind, in other words.

That appears to be true, of late. Poor Brinner.

Or somehow developing sentience and getting pissed at us for never
posting.

Hey, it's a victory you deserve. Even I know how hard it is to find

I can see that happening. He will become our robotic overlord and we
will sit all day posting and posting in order to feed him in a weird

Yeah, there's nothing. Even the impending arrival of the Next Book
hasn't spurred activity. And I am yet to take the final steps in
getting our website back up and running so the Next Book Inn can get
its long-awaited update.

>Claps all around.

At least over in afgrrm we have one new guy who is fuelling
discussion, and getting the oldbies to stir.

It's understandable. Especially after you've spent all day at work, to
come home and do stuff that won't even get much of a reception by
anyone except a few select people can seem just...like not the most
exciting of prospects.

FreeAgent says there's something like 100 + new posts. Yeek. Will see
what I can do about making it 101. It's good to see GRRM's fanboys are
keeping usenet alive.

Well, I like to think there's a bit more to it than that, but I still
need some sort of material to work with.

We do what we can. It's just the sort of place where people aren't
coming anymore, and the people who are here are getting fewer and
fewer.

And yet it's these alternatives that are so wildly popular, when
they're the least flexible, the most crippled in design, and the most
utterly annoying and obnoxious in their ability to get in the way of
communication by interrupting text with annoying pictures, flashing
images, games, quizzes, etc.

Yeah, I blame Web boards and Facebook.

Myspace and LiveJournal are okay, they only killed the rec.artists.
*smile*

Still, hopefully there's no profit in killing Google Groups and usenet
entirely. Not while there are still posts turning up, every month. Er,
every couple of months.

Unfortunately, there's also little or no profit to Google in _maintaining_
Google Groups correctly; for example, even Advanced Search currently refuses to
admit that anything after 1993 exists in a.r.k ...

Not sure what group that is, but that search thing has always been
buggy and Google Groups has always been a bit of a pain.

Should see it trying to handle the Welcome Back Contro Party Thread.
Now there's some fun. Even Freeagent has some trouble with that puppy.
