   If you ask politely here, some people will provide it for free by email. Far fewer than before the September That Never Ended, but there may be a few lurking about.

   It varies from season to season. Although often it feels like the September That Never Ended. There are more than 2,000 plus subscribers to debian-user. Imagine if it were a physical town hall style meeting with that many people in one location. How many of those meetings in real life remain on topic and with a high signal to noise ratio? Very few of the ones I have actually attended. Everyone wants to talk about the issues that are important to them and everyone has a different set of issues.

   I've been running tin with nano in Terminal in my Mac since 2003, and before then, by telnetting in to my university's server, which I first started doing as a first year undergrad in September 1993. Yes, I'm one of that famous cohort of people who first got online in the September That Never Ended and ruined usenet^([sic]) forever. :)

   Many of the older "gurus" and "experts" are growing (old and )weary and dropping off groups because of the spam, trolls and idiots. Some of us can remember life before the September that Never Ended. (Though in theory it ended on January 25, 2005 )

   Actually AOheLl initially brought "the masses" here, many years before G--gl- ever came about. Many claim that we've now moved on to October 1993 at long last, since AOheLl dropped its Usenet support several years back, but G--gl- are really just continuing it. Broadly speaking, the September that Never Ended, for all practical purposes, still hasn't ended.
