I'm not convinced it's a trolling.
I looked at the listing from a year ago at this time.
There were several active topics, and three spams.
Now, there are only about three active threads, and
they have deviated considerably off topic, and there
are at least 19 spams ranging from sneakers to
nudes.
So indeed, there is still a batch of daily messages,
if you call them that, but the signal-to-noise ratio
has gotten really bad since this time last year. And
that doesn't speak well for the future.

---
SPAM is easy to control with properly configured filters and a decent
newsreader, and threads will wind about and go on and off topic; that's
why they're called threads...

On the other hand, shunning malevolent elements like you is a little
more difficult and putting you in your place usually requires more time
and effort than is devoted to answering the simple technical queries
expected here.

I'm sure that some folks object to your shenanigans and leave, just to
get you out of their hair, just as I'm sure there are many more who
enjoy seeing you getting slapped around and some, indeed, who enjoy
doing the slapping. :)

Bottom line is, I think, if the attrition isn't natural because of, say,
a growing lack of interest in basic electronics, then it's at least
partially due to trolls like you who make spending time here less than
enjoyable for those who wish the newsgroup's charter would be more
closely adhered to.


JF
I've unsubscribed a couple of groups that due to trolls and attrition
ended up equal parts inanities and spam. The really knowledgeable
people got fed up and left.

He didn't, he _finished_ at the bottom of the thread.
Moreover, if your "Exactly" indicates agreement, then posting your
reply at the beginning of the book instead of at the end indicates that
you're as ignorant about chronolgy as you are about usenetiquette.
Little surprise from someone who reads USENET with a "browser"
---
Bottom posting arguments and other general stupidity is killing it.
---
Bottom-posting isn't, since it's the norm for USENET posting, but
general stupidity might be, viewed in the light of your recent posts and
Google's access policies.
However, Michael B, who at:
76754153-f710-4fd0-8a3c-e30d5bca5...@a15g2000yqm.googlegroups.com
stated:
"Hmm, now that I think of it, there is an
enormous number of specific-interest
groups, more being formed all the time.",
indicating that _he_ thinks USENET is growing.
Do you disagree?
JF
All of the groups I have used since 1996 have shrunk to a few members
who seem to post out of habit or are " just checking in". Some now such
as alt.culture.luddites, are so vacant they don't even have spam posts.
My ISP , as well as a number of others stopped free access to newsgroups
three years ago, which seemed to be about the time new membership in any
of the groups I used began to decline.
I still follow several quite active NGs. Some continue to pay for
Usenet access. I've been paying for at least five years, well before
my ISPs dropped free access. It's not expensive.

Most of my groups have gone from well over 100 posts a day to less than
five a week. One group I follow, Rec.antiques, had over 23,000
subscribers in 1997- 2000, now it has 605, but it goes for weeks without
anything but spam posts. It seems that no new members are coming on
board, the last one out please turn off the lights :~(((((

Because the NGs you follow are drying up, you can't extrapolate
anything to the Usenet in general. Some newsgroups are doing quite
well, in fact.


Come on, admit it. I don't like the fact it's dying anymore then the
next regular user. I've a wide range of interests from a-z and all the
groups are a shadow of what they once were. Even this one is down to
1105 members, of which only about a dozen people regularly post.
When you see a group with only a half dozen threads going and days
between new posts its days are numbered.
How do you tally the membership? AFAIK newsservers don't keep a count
on subscribed groups on a user basis.

Typical, don't like the message and attack the messenger....You don't
believe postings are now far lower to this group than what they were
even two years ago?

You're a messenger? Not likely. You're just an angry twit.

As far as the number of messages? Giganews shows 141563 messages for
sci.electronics.basics since early 2003.

What calendar are you using? I said:

"You don't believe postings are now far lower to this group than what
they were even two years ago?"

It's now 2010, two years ago was 2008, not 2003. Even so that only works
out to about 55 posts a day from 2003. Show me the stats from 2008 to
the current date........So far for the month of January ( as of this
post) there are only 50 posts to sci.electronics.basics. I'm not the
only one who notices thi, 13 of the 50 posts have the subject line
"Maybe time to shut down this newsgroup".


Yawn.....................................
In ability to back up your claim noted.

Can't see how that adds up. Says nothing about subscribers around the
world. There's no such thing as membership in a group, only
subscriptions, and those can't be tallied unless you access every
newsserver in the world and add up which groups get their header
downloaded by how many. Do a read-up on how usenet actually works.

Google can only tally what Google can see, which ain't the Usenet.
 
Don't get off track. It doesn't really matter how many
people have thrown their name into a pot, it's how much
participation actually exists. And the statistics exist.

And it's a pretty dismal commentary when a question
about coil winding has taken so many OT twists.

Made things bad???

All I've done is point out to you that, on USENET, bottom posting is
preferable to top posting and that your incessant use of the evil top
posting method is frowned upon by most of USENET and even advised
against by Google Groups, that bastion for the clueless and thorn in the
side of USENET.

You, on the other hand, are part of the problem and have decided to
fight tooth and nail against changing your posting style to one that is
used by easily 90% of the rest of us because you think it's more
important to be inflammatory and keep playing your little troll games.

A good example is the IKYABWAI nonsense with which you started this
post.

I really have no need to waste any more of my precious time replying to
your inane prattle, so unless you can come up with something intersting,

Well many people disagree and this is indicated quite loudly in many places
with eText/eComm systems.

BTW: I never start a book at the bottom or last page so you'll have to grow
some before you get out of the 1980s.

Because that's how one reads, from the beginning of a story to the end.
Each post is like a conversation in a novel. Someone coming late to a
thread can follow the whole conversation from the start and be up to
speed by what has transpired before.

Usenet is dead because most ISP's no longer offer it for free, and
technology has moved on with new shiny toys that take no brains at all
to use.

This is what makes Usenet a thing of the past.. the trolls = people bored.

I'm not convinced it's a trolling.
I looked at the listing from a year ago at this time.
There were several active topics, and three spams.
Now, there are only about three active threads, and
they have deviated considerably off topic, and there
are at least 19 spams ranging from sneakers to
nudes.
So indeed, there is still a batch of daily messages,
if you call them that, but the signal-to-noise ratio
has gotten really bad since this time last year. And
that doesn't speak well for the future.

Well Michael?

Now do you believe me that these bottom posting OCD idiots are only here for
the troll subject?
Look at the contradictions in this idiot's post! Take the hook out of your
mouth and stop feeding this troll, POS. Read the third paragragh he
blathered and think how it applies to his troll. He has confused the whole
thread with his posting style and exemplifies the whole top-posting point
quite well. He probably has never posted on topic yet.

Ignore the jerk. He won't convince anybody, especially thinking people, with
his contradictory tactics.

It's just an off-topic troll. This is why Usenet is failng mostly. The ISPs
are tired of the legal implications resulting from these immature people.


flame harder, boys...LOL

Well done!

Do you have a lot of this multi-strand wire to use for a cheap price?

I think it would make the winding too complicated. Instead of many turns you
will have days of soldering connections to get all the strands in series.
That's a huge lump you may not have room for.

Preparing to wind a motor coil or more. Need some info to consider a
shortcut. Putting aside the issue of current handling capacity, does
anyone have awareness of whether a multistrand wire made of smaller
magnet wires can serve instead of a single wire with the same number
of windings?
