    They don't mean it either.

    This newsgroup took a nose dive around 1999-2000 when genre specific model forums arrived. Ship modeling sites, armor modeling sites, car modeling sites, aircraft, space, science fiction, figures all basically drew the crowd away from the newsgroups.

    That and a number of people that thought because they were "professionals" they could harass many of the posters, especially newbies because the of politics or simply because they thought that they owned the place.

    I remember Merriman (Dave?) some sort or semi-professional modeler who declared us "kit assemblers" and he was one of the only true "model builders". I remember quickly finding out what the killfile (ignore list) was.

    ...and then, a lot of ISPs (including mine...) cut off our usenet
    access. Which drastically silenced and saddened quite a few of us.

    I've found a free service where I can make one or two odd(?) posts like
    this one, but I'm still looking for a service provider that can get me
    back into the real mix.
