I haven't been paying attention closely enough to say.


Looking at the Google portrait of the group, there has
been a huge decline in posts in the last couple of months:


It comes and goes.
While there are few posts there are a number who browse the group and
respond when their particular interest comes up


There's another type as well.
Some of us who bring up the group, see something related to aviation
that might need an answer or response or even an exchange of useful
dialog with a poster asking about aviation related material; we start
to answer say a question asking for example whether stall is related
to airspeed or angle of attack, then we remember the last time we
answered an aviation question and got a response that went something
like "go f**k yourself you rotten stupid son-of-a-bitch, then instead
of hitting the send button, we just close the window and go somewhere
else.

Feeling and experience shared,
This was once a good place to find intelligent discourse on a wide range of
subject, a kind of commons,

Glad to see you (and some others) are still here,
With hopes for the future (but no expectations),
I wish you all Seasons Greetings and health, wealth and happiness in the New
Year.

Happy landings,

Then there is the kind that come here only to promote themselves as some
kind of aviation legend, and to hell with all else.

Well, many thought Mx had contaminated the group, but then bertie and
maxi gave us a tutorial on true toxic typing. Those of us who wanted
content have mostly gone elsewhere, and check back in here once in a
while.

Roger that. This is my first time here in weeks, and all I see are the same
old trolls that destroyed the group in the first place. Sadly, now that
they've driven off pretty much everyone, they've been reduced to spitting at
each other.

Ricky, I'm afraid you'll have to go through Google's archives to see what
this group once was.

:-(

Merry Christmas, all...

folly or ****ed.

First -- happy holidays.

Second -- why do you think it's sad they are reduced to spending time
spitting at each other? All that's missing is we are not providing
them targets, that's not sad at all. We reduced their fun. If you
look back a few months when there were 3000 posts or so, I would guess
the order of 80% were exchanges among the trolls. Now that thy have no
audience those 2400 posts have been greatly reduced.
