It really seems to me that the nail in the coffin, at least temporarily, was
the decision of the ATT based ISPs to dump usenet.

It is more general than that, not limited to the USA. u.r.aviation was a
very nice place where I learnt many things and read many fine posts,
today it is ghastly silent. And that's only one example.

There's just no way to
tell when or even if it will recover.

I am much afraid it won't.

After reading previous post about the quality of the "new" Sport
Aviation I had to dig it out for a scan. About 1/3 of the content is
advertising. Add to that, about 15% is informercial type articles.
Another 10% for oversize photos. Less than 10% devoted to "how to"
articles[in my opinion, the most important part]. It really is a
glitzy rag[again my opinion]. Your mileage my vary, depending on
your interests.
