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

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.

Yes, I am a participant in one of those active groups. However, many others
are moribund or
stuffed with spam advertisements that have killed participation. I had
hoped that this
group could survive and thrive.
