   Maybe...  But that sounds a lot like the naysayers that thought it would   
   all fold with Y2K... and here we are, 5 years, almost 6, later...  :)   
      
   As long as us diehards don't give up, and we gain even a few newbies,   
   things will keep going along, maybe even get more active.  I doubt we'll   
   ever see the likes of the heyday of BBS/Fido echoes, but a viable medium   
   I have little doubt of.  There's even a few of those who gave up that   
   keep coming back to check things out, and see (often to their surprise)   
   that things are* still going... :)
