    From Di Esse@21:1/5 to All on Fri Dec 28 00:34:01 2018
    Hi all,

    I am trying to access the above group but there are no posts.
    Has anyone else had this happen?

    Cheers,

    Posts aren't exactly frequent, but the latest post to arrive here is
    dated 9 Jan, and the FAQ on 12 Jan. It was infested by a sex hookup
    group, but they haven't been back since late October.

    Can't help further.

    Doug.

    Thanks Doug, I think I might have to give up on this group for a while.

    Cheers,

    Since my reply, there has been one post to GENBRIT and one reply. There
    has been one inquiry to the Ireland list this year.

    Newsgroups are almost dead (NNTP readers are no longer being developed,)
    and the old mailing lists are trashed. They became so unreliable that
    the Ryerson Users' list moved to freelists.org. The new .io domain has
    a clean server. Otherwise, the future seems to be with Facebook or Google+

    HTH,

    Doug.

    I tend to agree with you Doug but I thought I would try. All good things come to an end at some time.
