This NG recently celebrated its first anniversary by posting memories and emotions from the first year. NG regulars exist in the U.S., Canada, England, Europe, Australia, among others. While English is the primary language, it is not uncommon to see French or Spanish postings. The NG, due to its closeness among regulars, will frequently have at least one active disagreement in progress, but 'flame wars' are generally prevented by those on the sidelines. While disagreements are routine, all-out 'flame wars' are discouraged.
Peace is preferred and unwritten social statutes have emerged with time.
Unlike some NGs, this NG does not rigorously enforce general usenet guidelines. Novice posters are welcomed and encouraged. The NG shares birthdays and personal information regularly. In summary, this NG attracts a degree of personal loyalty and involvement that is uncommon on usenet. This has become an internet community and regulars consider it as such.
