This newsgroup has become clogged by a couple of write-only posters. I have seen newsgroups die before. When a critical mass of uresponsive or posters is reached, real discussion dies of starvation. It seems Usenet does have a lot of competition now, too, of course. Twitter, in particular, covers some of the same market. In some ways, the 140 character limit is a good thing, and there are ways around it.
