Sadly, I suspect that his posting demise had nothing to do with his
detractors. More likely, his time in this domain expired. Over time,
we discover that Usenet itself is in decline; that popular fora are no
longer so popular because other places are simply easier to use.
Those who know what we are talking about are no longer active, perhaps
going down the path that Joe followed, along with his wonderful pal
HipNip. But, of course, there do appear to be lurkers still hanging
about. I suppose they have little to share which is sad, but
understandable. Collecting does take effort.
I most certainly miss the good posts by Joe - that is the ones not
associated with his endless self-promotion logos affixed. I always
imagined Joe, busily running batch files to merge his logo files with
valid images, Perhaps his skills were no longer needed by the sites
he was associated with.
More likely, we Usenet seniors are in steady decline ourselves along
with the services themselves. But many groups are still active. It
merely takes a few posters to keep the joint running.
