More like i just didn't think about it I guess..... all of the news groups
I
have ever frequanted in the 9 years or so of being on the internet are
actually still sup****ted by my isp, including this one :)

LOL ok not quiet how i ment it :P Just that the "old watchers" don't tend
to
post much anymore, I guess a few of em could still be lurking in the
backgrounds somewhere though ;) any conversation is good really I guess
you
get away with being a little bit more offtopic though when the news group
is
no longer totally full of people

I guess you could say that :) although I've been posting in the angel news
group a bit lately..... used to post in this one on and off as well but
mostly just lurked but then I guess most lurkers probably unlurked long
enough to hold at least one conversation throughout their news group
readings :)
> I hope you're going to remain posting now you've started?
Maybe.. If i don't get busy and forget about it again for a couple of
months
lol
