  • Is Usenet dying?

    From Robbie Hatley@21:1/5 to All on Wed Feb 2 04:23:55 2022
    Yikes, I come to the most miscellaneous group on all of Usenet,
    namely THIS group, "misc.misc", and I find that the number of
    persons who have posted to this group in the last 2 years is...
    two. Two (2) persons. OMG. And all but one of the posts here
    in the last 2 years are in German (a language I can't read).
    Not even spammers post here.

    And most other groups tend to be faring badly as well, with
    either "nothing but spam", or just "nothing", for the past
    8 years in most cases.

    Is Usenet dying?

    Why are you writing here? You must be a gay Asian. This looks like a child pornography site: <https://archive.is/RbfN1>

    "Caucasian" (like Michael Jackson)
    DOB June 5 1959 (In Mongolia)
    5'9" = 1.7526 m

    On 2/2/22 13:33, I asked "Is Usenet dying?", and an entity calling
    itself "Thomas Homilius" replied:

    Why are you writing here?

    That is not an answer to my question.

    But the answer to your question is, "because I choose to".

    You must be a gay Asian.

    What do my skin tone, nation of origin, language, etc, have to do
    with whether Usenet is dying?

    But the fact that you are the ONLY entity to even PRETEND to answer my
    question is, in itself, pretty much a "yes" answer. :'(

    This looks like a child pornography site:<https://archive.is/RbfN1>

    Actually, that's an archived version of a photo of myself (at age 1)
    from my own web site. But the photo was never removed from its original location, so why bother with archives? Since you say you enjoy wanking
    over pictures of me as a baby, here, have fun, but try not to squirt
    on your keyboard (it corrodes the keys):

    "Caucasian" (like Michael Jackson)

    Michael Jackson was not a "Caucasian". No, taking vitiligo medication
    does not make a person "Caucasian".

    DOB June 5 1959

    Yes, that's when I was born: one year after Rock & Roll.

    (In Mongolia[?])

    No, in USA. (Though, Mongolia would have been more interesting.)

    5'9" = 1.7526 m
    175LB = 79.3787 kg

    Wow, you can do metric conversions! I'm so impressed!

    :::yawn:::

    Excuse me.


    Yep, Usenet is dying. :'(

    You are that:
    There are only things that are probable. There is nothing improbable.

    So it is likely that you are Chinese and were born in China.
