Dead Newsgroup?

IMHO, yes, pretty much "Dead".
Too few posters interested in posting on
this rather 'unique' subset.
I would hope everyone interested in the proper subjects,
has added the newsgroups:
rec.aviation.military -and
sci.military.naval

I still check in here most days, , , but ??
Good will to all for a happy 2009.
