Then the newsgroup got *stridently* usurped by those of the opinion "if

I see. "Tin-eared".

I guess that would be the contrast to "received wisdom'?

And why this NG is moribund. When camps are so-divided that the necessary
descriptive of the other camp is negative, there is no room for discussion or
the fair and free exchange of information or opinion.

Is it maybe just possible that the reason this group is dead is simply
because all of Usenet is itself obsolete and dead?

I dunno.... A few other groups are quite lively. Infinitely better than facebook in any case.
