Really?  I've always found the less traveled paths to be the most

There's the less traveled path and then there is the path so overgrown
that it doesn't really exist anymore and so no one is on it. I think
that is where this newsgroup is headed.

If anyone is really passionate about Usenet preservation, the most
future proof approach would be to set up your own Usenet server /
related infrastructure, and own your own little slice of paradise on
the information superhighway for which you eat the cost and let others
trample on it out of the goodness of your heart.

Posting more often is only utilizing infrastructure resources at
someone else's expense, which might be more likely to demotivate them
to keep going for free.

For those that see value in keeping Usenet around, but aren't losing
sleep over the matter one way or the other, the best strategy is to
pay a provider for use of their Usenet servers, while simultaneously
not trying to be the top poster and spam it with lots of frivolous
crap.
