Re: looking for groups

Ethan Carter <ec1828@somewhere.edu> wrote or quoted:

IIRC, alt.english.usage was a high-volume group until recent years.  It
seems to go by at least a day now with no articles.  Have I got the
group name wrong perhaps?

  There's also "alt.usage.english".

I'm also looking for a group on economics.  I'd like to ask questions
and learn a bit from people who study it.  We have sci.econ, but it
looks dead on Eternal September.

  I can only find "alt.invest..." having some overlap with this.
