Re: Too Many Forums?

Gentlemen,

I think that the Pearls of Wisdom still do there bit here and had it not
been for the Forum I don't think I would have so many good friends near and
far. I can travel anywhere in this country and know that there will be
somebody I can see or visit and that says it all for me. I must admit I
restrict myself to three forums this and IF being the most visited, the
third I add the odd bit but find the average age to be much younger than me
and there is the occasional been there done that attitude otherwise it is
ok.

Concur. I dropped off the USA perch on a matter of principle & honestly
don't miss it. I too miss the chit chat with some who feel they can't
contribute here any more, but this is still my only regular electronic
contact with the Broad World.

Definitely too many and I for one simply don't have the time to keep up
with them all, so such meagre pearls as I have to cast will be found
here. Anyway I still find usenet by far the most convenient format -
threads are easy to follow, it is bandwidth efficient so great where
connection time is precious (eg on PDA), and when I am checking my email
at work it is just one tempting click away!
Sad to say traffic has fallen off of late, I know a few once regular
posters have dropped out as they fear unwelcome elements may be lurking
and taking notes, others are upset by the occasional flame wars, but I
think the majority simply don't see any topics coming up to which they
feel they can usefully contribute which of course becomes a cumulative
decline. I guess it will perk up a bit when the rally season kicks off
and we all start saying "did you see that so-and-so at such-and-such",
though I must admit at the moment I can't get particularly enthusiastic
about the prospect of trailing around the same old rallies to see
dwindling numbers of the same old engines.
