Is this newsgroup shutting down?
In the past few days I've only seen one post here at
rec.pets.cats.anecdotes. I was beginning to think it's closing down, possibly because of so many non-relevant posts in recent months. |

I really don't see all those posts that seem to bother you. Jill |

Using a GOOD news service (something OTHER than GoogleGroups) will result is far less garbage, and better content. That doesn't change the fact that there have been very few posts. Even Mark Edwards has disappeared. |

Jill I SEE them, but it's easy enough to skip over the "sender" when I know it's another irrelevant post. (I got tired of trying to kill-file the political moron who keeps changing its name and using Russian and Greek alphabets, but its numerous addresses are easy to recognize and avoid.) |

Even Mark Edwards has disappeared. That is the way the group is been times over these many year that the group had only one or two post a week or month than hundreds the next. News groups have died social media drowns it out now. As for me, I met someone 18 months ago. I asked her to marry me last week our wedding date is June of next year. She has a beautiful young daughter that now calls me dad. She watched her dad die slowly of cancer 7 years ago and she has not attached to or dealt with any male figure until me. I have lost 211 pounds I am with in 50 pounds of my goal. From a 7xl down to a 2xl. Shirts from a 24 down to a 18.5. I feel fantastic. I plan on entering my first 5k marathon here soon. I just started into a new business of security. So I am at home every night with them and my daughter has the feeling of being safe that her dad is home when she goes to sleep at night. So many of us may be caught up in life I just sat down for a few minutes to the computer and said let me look at the news group today than saw this post Have a great day everyone, )o( Matthew |

You are doing very well indeed, what with your engagement, a new daughter and your weight loss. The first two sound delightful, and the last sounds very difficult, which makes it even more gratifying an achievement! As my Aussie friends would say, Good onya!

Just add something or respond to a post that interested you. I'm pretty sure I'll always be here, checking in and chuckling at all our little kitty antics. |
