Yes.
Haven't been seeing any posts lately, myself.
It has slowed down a bit since Google Groups went away and Nyikos (pbuh)
left us.
Nyikos (pbuh, indeed) generated a lot of heat, if not so much light.
We've also apparently lost most if not all creationists, and ID
proponents are down to Ron D, if he hasn't left already. Alas.
"Alas" for "if he hasn't left", right?
It may be that it was Ron Dean who was keeping this group alive. In the 1990s I participated in a dicussion group at which someone kept sending idiotic posts, and a lot of the contributions from the sane participants were stimulated by these. Eventually he left, but, as no one expected, the group died shortly afterwards. There is a similar story at sci.lang, much more recently, which is surviving now almost entirely due to the efforts of one (sane) contributor, but was much more lively a few years ago, due to the idiotic contributions of one person.
