Perhaps I'm overlooking something, but upon what do you base that

There's maybe 50 people here. Even if there are several times that that
never post, highly unlikely, this group, as any group, is irrelavant.

Irrelevant to whom?

The newsgroup is as relevant as the information, and to some extent
opinion, contributed. Or do you mean to imply that you consider the
newsgroup irrelevant due to minimal public exposure to its content,
perhaps more properly termed insignificant?

I would expect it reasonable to guess that 90% or the readership of
rec.aviation.piloting are solely readers, and don't post articles. 500
still isn't a large number of participants in this forum. But when
you consider that it's gatewayed via http to many more web sites on
the WWW, and further consider the fact that all the content of the
newsgroup is archived on-line for decades, what gets posted to
rec.aviation.piloting sees considerably more exposure over the years
than you might expect.

You're a regular contributor to rec.aviation.piloting. Google your
posting alias, and see how many hits you get (Results 1 - 100 of about
31,500 for newps. (0.26 seconds) . Then report back.
