Usenet is dying. This NG especially is dying. One of the primary reasons on
this NG is the trolling and flaming. I think many lurk this NG. They're put
off by the few that troll* routinely, and they don't post. Then they leave.
It's really too bad for those of use that would like to see back to back
banter about grilling and low and slow and so forth.

*From Wikipedia: In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts
controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online
community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room or blog, with the
primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or of
otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion
