It would be great if this newsgroup could become popular again. The
great advantage of newsgroups is the standardization and speed. Web
forums just are too slow and clumsy for some people. The big problem
is that most people who have started using the Internet in the last
ten years seem to think it's just the web.

I have been keeping cichlids for over 40 years but I can't help with
Green Terrors as I'm not into large species. I haven't got the room.

Sorry if I sounded offhand suggesting you try Google.
Although I've kept fish for some 45 years Green Terrors aren't a species
I've kept.

Is there any specific question you're needing answering?

Not really, but it's nice to hear replies from a couple of civilized
folks for a change. I think that USENET is pretty much dead, except for us
old fossils that know how to do it. I can't tell you how many folks I've
tried to recruit to various NG's, by send them a list of instructions. It's
just too much trouble for the casual computer user.

Too much trouble - that seems so strange to some long time Usenet
people like me. I find web forums far too much trouble as they are all
over the place and vary so much. Usenet survives because it's so
simple to use. The main trouble with Usenet is spam from Google groups
and gmail users.

I agree with you both but USENET just doesn't seem to get to PC newbies.
Looking at your Sig Steve you're in IT and JKC has put together a decent
website so neither of you two lack an understanding of IT.
Myself I have the awful job of fixing PC's & PC problems for a living so I
too am not new to USENET.

Shame, but that the way it is.
