Oi! :-)
A lot of groups do seem to have fallen below the critical mass necessary
to keep them going, but there are, as you say, still several that are
popular. Moderation seems to have been the salvation of many; it keeps
the spammers out and maintains the signal to noise ratio at a level
which makes the group readable.
