The car info is on the Club Site, but it is a drivers c;ub and here is
where we can get to kbnow one-another better and see some humor. As it
is so often written here, if it says OT and you don't like the
subject, enter. Ten problem comes when someone turns a thread away
from the subject or gets personal, indicating dislike for the writer
instead of the stand the writer takes.
Other was are possible: Barry and I often disagree, but still like
each other and never talk nasty.
Separate the person from the stand and liofe will be easier!

Yes, the NG is not as active, but I would be perfectly happy with it,
if all the cross-posted OT stuff (especially M15) would disappear so
that the content would be 100% Stude, or OT's posted by Stude folk.

Jerry, this place has been on life support for over a year. Where the
newsgroup used to get 4000-5000 messages per month, it hasn't passed 2000
more than once in about a year and a half and only gone over 1000 once in
the past six month. Usenet is virtually dead as a messaging system, it's
run it's course... it's easier to setup and run an online forum. Several IP
don't even want to deal with providing usenet newsgroup access or support.

If you use a newsreader like Outlook Express, blocking users is easy... I've
got a handful blocked and now as far as I know their old man pulled out and
shot them on the curtains.

Ditto here, but spammers have just about ruined all of the non-moderated
groups. The spammers change their user names every day, so it is a constant
job blocking them..

BTW, thanks for setting a good example, Karl.

There are many reasons that this site is not as active as it once
was. The SDC forum has attracted many of the Studebaker bloggers.
Some have moved on to other things.

If people don't post here, don't expect much to show up. It is your
responsibilty to keep the site active.

There has been way too many negative comments here, which have driven
many away. The loss of free internet ISPs knocked out a few of the
cheapskates. Trying to find a newsgroup service can be a lot of
nusiance.

For those reading this on non-Google sites, try this: Open Google,
click 'More' tab, select 'Groups', type: 'alt.autos.studebaker'
<enter> you are here! You can bypass the MI5 and spammers, by not
reading them. Plus, this does not plug your Outlook email box, since
you are not using it at all. If you see something you want to keep,
highlight it by holding the button down and dragging your mouse across
it, turning the message blue. Go up to the top (in Explorer) and
click 'edit', then 'copy'. Open an email, or document and click
'paste'. Done.

Your turn to post something worthwhile. You need a free Google
account to post, but to read, it is only a matter of showing up here.

I cannot tell you how many times the people on this newsgroup have
been helpful. If not for parts but for advice and support! Even hints,
ideas and nudges toward the right direction in solving problems. This
is, I thought, the reason for a newsgroup for Studebakers. I also
think that we do a pretty good job of policing ourselves. I never
comment unless I think through the issue and have never gotten into
any online confrontations. I consider all to be fellow Studie brothers
and sisters. And, may I even go so far as to say: Friends?! I just
ignore the posts that don't interest me or apply to my area of
expertise, and the ones that I do read are very, very, as said before,
Informative!!! Thanks, all. Flathead of the 57 Champion. Oh, and in
the spirit of the season: Happy Holidays to everyone!!!

Boy that sad. In 1994 I signed up for Prodigy. They were the first online
service to provide access to the internet. I remember scrolling the list of
news groups looking for something interesting ( the internet was so new
that many of the posts were " Is this the Internet?' ) and ran across this
group.
Never have owned a Sude but after reading the posts here over the years it
became my favorite American car. I wouldn't mind having either a 62 Avanti
or a 59 Lark.
Anyway for years I have made it a point to stop in and see what the
Studebaker People were talking about and visiting the web sites and pictures
of which they spoke, I will continue to lurk, but wanted to thank you for
many years of nice reading.

Oh, I'm not going away. I was just lamenting the fact that I believe this NG
is slowly going down the tubes. As long as there is a Stude NG I'll be here.
I'll be here until they pry my wireless mouse out of my cold dead fingers

I too will not be leaving soon ( I hope). Don't post much but I do
enjoy the group, even with my non stude studebaker (G). Lamar
 >> Stay informed about: Reading the news group 

In the days where Prodigy had an old car bulletin board me and a few others
started talking about Studebakers, within a year or less
alt.autos.studebaker started. I like this format better than the SDC forum
since they took down the gizmo that e-mailed you that some one repsonded to
a post.

The nG is much more informal and you can BS, and yes change topics. I heard
this group was dying because of spammers, but I have not come across any.

What ever happened to Prodigy??????
