Anyone going to MoPar Fest (Kitchener/Waterloo) Aug 21/22?

Anyone here going to MoParfest this year?

http://moparfest.org/

If you live in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York or Ontario then
you're a true MoPar Man *only* if you go to MoParFest.

I'll be there on Sunday.

Ok, so there are no real MoPar men here.

NGs are dying...

Far less participation also in my other automotive groups... Microsoft has
pulled its Help NGs off its servers, having moved everything to web-based
forums.

I would have thought that the older crowd that followed the 60's and
70's MoPar's would still be here. I guess not.

Most of the Microsoft groups are still on usenet. Some people think
that because Microsoft pulled the plug on it's NNTP server, that it
means those groups *must* disappear from usenet. That is not correct...

What is more important is that the MVPs have largely pushed off as well.
Participation in the one MS NG I follow has fallen off a cliff.

My ISP ditched its NG service end of July without warning. Reconnecting via
Eternal September was no big deal but it is just symptomatic of the trend.

You're likely seeing the downfall of M$.
Don't blink, M$ may vanish totally in a few years.
