There is so little astronomy being posted to this group that I am
starting to wonder if there is any point continuing to post here.

Although the number of hits per day on my web site continues to climb
the percentage of hits that come via Google groups has declined quite
steeply in recent weeks. Perhaps amateur astronomers are moving away
from the unmoderated mess that Google groups has become?

I check your link every day, either from home or GG. Post here as
long as it suits you.

Separate issues, IMO. Any newsgroup has its "noise". Likely your
posting here is what got you "indexed", to be found by others.

As to the lack of hits from GG, you have been a little unresponsive to
questions asked. I asked about visible vs. IR shots you had made, and
the duration between them, regarding "movers". Someone just asked
about "open clusters", and I did not see a response. Many hits from
GG are "in response to" an "active" contributor... which may be more
than you really want (considering those that commonly respond). Not
many people respond to "Andrew Yee", and his postings are also
invaluble to me.

And as I said before, thank you. Stop when you are done with us.
