Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / July 2008what happened here
where is everyone and what happened to the LUPUS newsgroup. No one posts and nothing going on? Most all of the posts are junk so anyone help me out here janers >where is everyone I'm here.. coping with a new kitchen. I'm getting tired of trying to dry my hands on a cupboard door, which now is where the towels were :) > and what happened to the LUPUS newsgroup. It's rusting away :(  SignatureAndy Taylor [Chair, N E Lupus Group]. <URL:http://www.northeastlupus.org.uk> Seems like lately every time I check the group it is nothing but cross posting and stuff that most of us try to filter out. Just trying to survive the fires burning in CA and the smoke we get to breathe in the now triple digit temps. Hugs, Sherry > where is everyone and what happened to the LUPUS newsgroup. No one posts > and nothing going on? > > Most all of the posts are junk so anyone help me out here > > janers I check in every day to see what is new. As for me, I try to spare everyone hearing my ranting about the same old stuff. Each day of this lupus experience is all new. Last week the increased prednisone dosage had me on cloud nine. Last couple days have been less than pleasant. lot's of pain. Go figure.... Anyhow, it is good to see some dialog. Sherry, I'm sorry to hear you are affected by the fires. It is easy to dismiss when it is just a story on TV. We are getting our share here in Arizona as well. Last week we had a big one just a couple miles south of us in the river bottom. It took lots of effort to finally get it under control. The smoke and soot were awful for those downwind in the path! Keep posting!

But we have not had ash coming in like we have had from fires that burned in Yosemite. Guess the smoke is coming from fires in the Sacramento area but I'm not sure. I am still monitoring the floods on the Des Moines river. My cousin's house has been under water for weeks...level where his house is now just 3 ft over the 10 foot flood stage but he hasn't gotten back in and I doubt he is looking forward to what 20+ feet over flood level did to his home and property. Course his house is not far from the riverbank <g> was his cabin till a divorce now it was his home. Always something! Hugs, Sherry hi janers can't be sure how 'much' this is affecting the group, but a great many of the isp's - time warner [stopping all usenet], verizon, aol, road runner, sprint, have removed access to any of the 'alt.' groups - they have left access only to the 'big 8': comp.* humanities.* misc.* news.* rec.* sci.* soc.* talk.* so - i know many folk either can't afford to use a 'pay service like easynews or the german server - and others just plain don't 'want' to have to use the clunky google interface all in all - i think there are quite a few folk that will migrate over to web forums on yahoo and other such... hth paul > where is everyone and what happened to the LUPUS newsgroup.
