John Roake ... Peter Masak (whatever did happen to the Scimitar?) ..
Iain Strachan ... all gone, it seems. It's pretty clear that usenet is
dying on its feet, but is there one place where the old r.a.s spirit
continues or does the decline here simply reflect the growth of many
other on-line opportunites for discussion?

John Roake is likely too busy these days. Ian Strachan still posts here
when a flight recorder controversy is brewing. Peter Masak was
tragically killed while flying the Scimitar (by that point a Ventus B
with 2C wings, I believe) in a contest a couple of years ago...
