I subscribe to groups in comp.* and elsewhere that have similar or
even less recent discussion. Lately I've also been subscribing to
dead groups on topics I'm less experienced in just to work back
through the archive of old posts on the news server I use.

Sometimes I post or cross-post to such groups. Sometimes I prefer
that to posting in a more active group covering a broader topic
where the regulars are very unlikely to be interested in my
sub-topic, or not even agree with me that it is remotely on-topic.
It works for me and I think it's harmless to keep these groups.

Indeed I think trying to hurd people towards the remaining active
groups will only increase the already troublesome amount of OT
discussion in many of those active groups, which can drive regulars
away from those groups too.
