I know and regardless of the TDC frivolity there was a wealth of
information exchanged and decent discussion of all aspects of WDW. I
wonder if the dropping of Usenet by so many ISP's hasn't taken it's
toll on us.

From a historical standpoint (not necessarily RADP, but Usenet in
general), Usenet was brain-drained after the influx of the truly
clueless. A lot of users went to moderated boards that filtered
out spam and trolls. (Not easy to do early in the life of the 'net.)

Have you ever looked up why Eternal September is called Eternal
September? :-)
