I haven't been paying attention closely enough to say. Looking at the Google portrait of the group, there has been a huge decline in posts in the last couple of months: http://groups.google.com/group/rec.a...ng/about?hl=en Looking the group by December dates, I think the answer to your question is "yes": http://groups.google.com/group/rec.aviation.piloting/index/browse_frm/month/2008-12?hl=en&_done=%2Fgroup%2Frec.aviation.piloting%2F browse_frm%2Fmonth%2F2008-12%3Fhl%3Den%26scoring%3Dd%26start%3D250%26sa%3DN% 26&hl=en&scoring=d&start=250&sa=N Marty -- Big-8 newsgroups: humanities.*, misc.*, news.*, rec.*, sci.*, soc.*, talk.* See http://www.big-8.org for info on how to add or remove newsgroups. |

Ricky...New P, will be A soon...(A&P) Well, many thought Mx had contaminated the group, but then bertie and maxi gave us a tutorial on true toxic typing. Those of us who wanted content have mostly gone elsewhere, and check back in here once in a while. |

This is my first time here in weeks, and all I see are the same old trolls that destroyed the group in the first place. Sadly, now that they've driven off pretty much everyone, they've been reduced to spitting at each other. Ricky, I'm afraid you'll have to go through Google's archives to see what this group once was. :-( Merry Christmas, all... -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 Ercoupe N94856 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |

Second -- why do you think it's sad they are reduced to spending time spitting at each other? All that's missing is we are not providing them targets, that's not sad at all. We reduced their fun. If you look back a few months when there were 3000 posts or so, I would guess the order of 80% were exchanges among the trolls. Now that thy have no audience those 2400 posts have been greatly reduced. |
