How can you get excited, or even find it, among all the

It is easy to ignore people here. I do it all the time. I have
only been around since just before xmas yet the people I see
complaining about noise are not what I would call regular
contributors to this group.  usenet will never be made just
for you and what you like. usenet is a decentralised open
discussion forum. You can choose to join in on a thread or
ignore it. If you dislike something, try and change from
within rather than just sit and complain. Which means, if you
don't want "noise" talk about dr who then. Drown the so called
noise out. dr who has been around sixty years there must be
plenty to talk about. If you make the discussion about noise
then you are only adding to the noise.
 
That's my two cents' worth anyhow. Next month there will be
new dr who stories to discuss. Here's hoping for some good dr
who and the right sort of noise to go with it.

In my experience this place has always been a bit quirky with
many tangents and thread divergences, so we're all pretty much
used to how RADW operates... some of the regulars would be
making use of their filters and killfile on a daily basis
though. Which is why newsreaders have that facility.

There did used to be a lot more on topic discussions here but
there were also many more posters here back in those days too.
The fact we have so little 'new' Doctor Who on the TV to discuss
does play a part I'm sure, but then again there are plenty of
new Star Wars/Star Trek shows being produced for
Disney+/Paramount yet their newsgroups are fairly dead. So
where have all those fans gone?

RADW lives. It's not perfect but what is? But at least there's
no cobwebs or dead space either.
