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. -- __ __ #_ < |\| |< _#
