Just been looking at a few of the forums I used quite frequently a few years 
ago. Most of them are all but dead.

rec.radio.cb was extremely busy, now hardly any activity at all...

uk.rec.radio.cb may as well not be there...

About six or seven others, never see a posting from one month to another

Maybe, people just don't have the time anymore or they are disillusioned 
with the crap posted by the likes of..."class_z ", "Brain Deadlar", and last 
but least,"12 years to pass the simple 12 WPM Morse test", (AKA The 3 
Stooges) which hardly makes Usenet a hot bed of learning these days :-(

Yep your right.

Even kill filing the pond life doesn't replace the fact that postings of any 
value aren't filling the gaps.

Most on here now have nothing to say, they just vent their inadequacies by 
having a go at others to justify their sad little existences.

It's not just the cb-er types either, it the so called *old school* that 
like to think they are the be all and end all of amateur radio and if others 
dare not follow what they do then their narrow little minds don't consider 
it amateur radio.

Lar di dar!

The second sentence quoted above would seem to be self-referential
for the whole of what is quoted above.

Would it be fair to assume that the poster quoted above holds, or
once held, a licence issued under the gangrenous degeneration that
is the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme, for the attitudes are very much
those of the chief L.I.A.R. of the scheme?

Well, maybe as a trumped up CBer you should go back to the newsgroups 
that better suit your interests instead of bringing you CB polluting 
ways to uk.radio.amateur.

"uk.rec.shown.up.by.6.year.olds.dork.dork.dork"?

That is probably because all the dimwitted people that are interested in 
radio post about any topic from Landrovers to Amy Winehouse on here!
