I dropped out of rec.models.rc.air about a year ago - and have 'droppe in' via RC Groups, Inc. I noticed a tremendous drop in posts - RMRCA used to run 300+ posts day - is it still doing that, but RCGroups, Inc. just doesn't carr them all - OR has that group deterioated to the level I see?

Basically rcgroups and rcuniverse is a far better place than this. This acts as a basic pointer to those sites really. > Jerry torqueroll.com is excellent also.

It's still a good source, however, RCGroups is probably the place to be since it's not screwed up like RCU is, and it's got a zillion times more users than Torqueroll or RCFlying. For example, at this very moment for comparison, there are 39 people browsing Torqueroll, 26 at RCFlying, but there are 951 on line right now at RCGroups. Even though RCU has a higher body count than RCGroups (sometimes twice as much), it's still a crappy place to navigate and I personally find the level of discourse much more interesting at RCGroups, or here at rec.models, than I do at RCU.

Ditto for the number of hate-mongers infesting the joint. > It's still a good source, however, RCGroups is probably the place to be >since it's not screwed up like RCU is, and it's got a zillion times more >users than Torqueroll or RCFlying. I haven't looked at RC Groups in quite a while. Have they 'fixed' the problem where you had to manually follow each thread to see recent responses ? About the only thing I like about USENET news groups is the bit about downloading headers only so I can pick which posts I want to read. Can that be done now on RC Groups ?

You might want to check them out again and see for yourself. MJC > I haven't looked at RC Groups in quite a while.

[quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > The House Of Balsa Dust > home.mindspring.com/~the-plumber Ditto that! Also, I wish there was a way to save the whole thread, instead of just one page.

From one old goat to another, yes. Cheers, Fred McClellan The House Of Balsa Dust home.mindspring.com/~the-plumber Hi Fred.....hot's HotLanta? Bet it ain't as HOT as here :) Jerry PS Sure do miss Perry ..... nothing like that out here -- tailskid Been modeling since '49 - which makes me an Old Fart >Hi Fred.....hot's HotLanta? Bet it ain't as HOT as here :) > >Jerry > >PS Sure do miss Perry ..... nothing like that out here! Nah, not hot. Hasn't broken 90 yet. Went to Reno for the air races in September a year or so ago, and finally realized I'm acclimated to this place. Locals thought it was hot in Reno at 96 degrees. We didn't notice cuz the humidity was zip point squat compared to hotLanta. We thought it was a nice Fall day. The Blues are at Dobbins this weekend. 'bout four miles from the house. All I had to do was turn a chair around on the deck. Perry is jest fine and gettin' finer every year. I made off with a NIB Blue Bird Prettner Calypso to put around the Rossi .60 I've had gathering dust for way too long. Now I gotta build the thing . . . You may miss Perry, but you can make the AMA shindigs on The Left Coast without too much trouble. Take care out there.
