Sometimes it is learning when there is something that is offered. I have not
seen very much offered lately. People like Carol, Cat, Martin, and Peter
offered quite a bit. But those people post rarely and 1 no more. But when
posting becomes a nightmare and one is afaid to post their theories or what
they have found out for fear of flame wars then it is hopeless isn't it? I
doubt though it will be bound to failure as a few of us chat every now and
then....not on the NG however.

Hmm, I don't see any suffering on this end. My site is still doing well, and
I have quite enjoyed discussing SEO on the outside rather than in here. Some
good friendships have come out of it.
