Given that Vadim, Mikito, Jan and Jan are the only folks likely to post anything novel with respect to theory, and given that Jan and Jan are busy with other things right now, I would say the newsgroup has a lot of traffic given the circumstances.
This is not a product-centric newsgroup where newbies ask the same questions thousands of times and sophomores answer them thousands of times.
A handful of we dilettants and a bunch of cross-posted trolls account for the majority of the traffic here. And of course, we get a steady trickle of students asking for someone to complete their homework assignments. Received on Thu Nov 20 2003 - 17:24:16 CET
