Difficult to tell, but critical mass isn't much of a metric here as it is on Usenet, mainly because groups are archived and easily past-browseable and because it is so easy to create new groups and receive them as mailing (...)

I'm not against it, but do we have critical mass yet? Also, what problem is it trying to solve? Is trains too noisy already (I can't tell since I'm part of the noise) or are you thinking ahead? (...) (25 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.trains)
