Hi Guys

I've been away from news groups for quite a while, mainly due to lack of
DIY activity.

To be honest I was surprised to find this group still seeing plenty of
posts. At one point ISTR that all discussion groups were moving to
Microsoft forums.

Also, there was a period where every other post was spam, but the feed
looks pretty clean these days. Long may it continue.

Because posting to usenet from google groups is no longer possible.

uk.legal is (or was last time I looked) full of people who crosspost
crap, so it's full of crap, rather than spam.

Unfortunately, a lot of the anti-psychotic meds have unpleasant side
effects. So, it's unsurprising that some people don't want to take them,
and providing a space where they can hang out probably serves a social
purpose.

Bugger that.
