Default Is shortwave dying?

Why are there so few on topic postings on this newsgroup? Is shortwave dying
like stamp collecting and other hobbies of the past?

I was hoping for some interesting responses to an issue very relevant to
this newsgroup. Thanks Brian but have you anything more to say?

Just last night I was lamenting the shift of the old HF RTTY Newsagency
services to satellite then the Internet. It's possible to now receive or
download 10 or 100 times as much information in the same period of time, but
it just isn't as much fun!

He's just upset that there's nothing much posted here in the way of shortwave
for him to lift and post elsewhere without attribution.

Not only that but anybody active in the hobby knows that this question has
been asked 1 million times and a simple Google search will yield any
information needed for the less informed. Heck Steve me and you have been
DXing a good part of our lives and the gloom and doomers have been telling
us that the hobby is dying ever since I can remember. I got plenty of
loggings. How bout you?

Is stamp collecting dying? I know people don't use stamps as much as
they once did, since they don't use the regular mail as much as they
once did. However, I'd expect this to be a boon to stamp collecting, as
it makes stamps much more 'collectible'.

The next time you decide to troll rec.radio.shortwave, I suggest you
get your facts straight.

Steve.

Somewhat excessive reaction to an innocent comment from me surely? Manners
maketh the man. Lighten up mate!! I am a stamp collector and I can assure
you its no longer "The hobby of Kings and King of hobbies" pity but true. Be
nice please.

Regards

Mike
