    It would have been strange if the group had gone totally downhill in 3 months.

    It has. It's mostly flooded with sex and (illegal) drug ads.

    Actually, that has been true of many/most Usenet groups for the past 6
    months or so. In order to survive on Usenet, it has been necessary for each and every one of us to develop some method of killing most of the posts in
    most of the groups.

    That will diminish in 6 days.

    I've heard that D Day is going to be 2/22 - that is only 4 days away, right?
