Definitely, this was a much bigger community when I first ran across it & a
lot of them quite knowledgeable about the photographers & models. And there
are a number of mostly-lurkers, a few of which rarely drop in a comment or
photo. We must be one of the few active usenet groups, so much so that I've
wondered if servers will someday soon just drop all usenet support. I used
to play around regularly at Yahoo's Spider Pool Research Group but they
were specifically focused on models related to the Pool & my interest was
wider. Maybe that's a group to consider trying to move to if this place
should fold up.
