 hi Cheryl, I have used varied news groups for several years, and found most 
 people that post go for months or more years, but within the cat groups, 
 people start posting and soon stop because of all the personal abuse they 
 get. If they have a new cat they like to ask a few questions, (we all had to 
 start somewhere)...  they get told things like "you shouldn't have a cat if 
 you don't know how to look after it" etc! 
 so of course these new people stop posting,  its a shame because there is a 
 lot of good knowledge available within the groups, but far too much personal 
 attack on people.
