This too shall pass. But there is an entropic death of Usenet in the making. Twitter and it's ilk are a near perfect substitute and they're as close as your cell phone. Instead of long winded questions/ answers/diatribes, there are 140 characters.
It's like the old joke:

What has happened to our newsgroup? Where are all the interesting questions that were once posed about actual, everyday, dental concerns? Why is it that someone(thing?) named Jan Drew can monopolize our NG. Freedom of the 'net I guess. And of course this NG is free/ gratis/no charge/kostenlos yada yada. But see what happens... thoughtful participants disappear and real patients are intimidated by these internet bullies and never post again! Actually, 10 years ago this NG was great. I only ever heard about Boyd and the NTI on this NG. I've tried to warn about PerioProtect. What happened to Hans Lenros, Stovepipe, John & Ninetta, Joel Eichen, USW? But some internet denizens (sharks?) like (whoever the hell she/he/it is) Jan Drew have screwed it up for all of us.
I'm just really bummed out because I really liked this NG until about 2 weeks ago.
