I am struck at how very different ARBR is from RBM. ARBR is quite small and
can easily be destroyed by a few [censored]. RBM is quite big and it cannot be
destroyed by even very many [censored]. Bill Baka is an example of an [censored]
who cannot dominate RBM no matter how hard he tries. RBM is just too big.
On the other hand, a small group like ARBR can be taken down by a single
[censored]. Ed Gin proved that two winters ago. The group has never recovered
from his predation. Even Tom Sherman got disgusted and has left the group.
There are only a few of us old timers left. We are like ghosts wandering
about forlorn and lost.
There is an extreme danger in being too small a newsgroup. RBM will go on
forever because it is a very large newsgroup. No matter what kind of
asininities go on there, they will pass because there are always new
assininities on the way to replace the old assininities. RBM is saved from
its' own assininities due to its' large size.
