There have been a fair number of terrific posts in here. How do I get you
guys to come over to my Google group and start posting there? I'd like to
see more participation but it seems that I'm the one doing all the posting.
Has anyone here run a group before who would like to share some advice on
getting people to participate?

Visit the group at

Thanks, Nick





Nick,

The timing of your post is interesting to me since Cox is discontinuing
Usenet service in a month or so. I need to decide if Usenet is worth
paying extra for (doubtful) or find an alternative.

Unfortunately, the user interface of Google Groups is very poor and I do
not think it's something I'll be using.

Great idea on your part, though, to propose an alternative.

Flickr, for example, has millions of aviation photos that can be made
part of groups and commented upon. I'm no fan of Flickr's user interface
either, but the community is already in place.
