I'm kinda here... as you might see by the late reply (probably too
late for you to see), I only check in very rarely now, as it's been so
quiet for so long now. Such a pity Usenet's died out, I miss the good
old days, but most my groups are dead/almost dead too; I suspect my
own subscription may not last a lot longer.
Still playing WoW here, albeit on a bit of a break at present, still
subbed but not playing much - sometimes I just need to do other things
for a while, but I know I'll get back into it soon enough.
Farewell, for Azeroth :-)

comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action is pretty active. We talk about all
computer game genres in there.
As for WoW, every time I had a question about the game over the years
I played it, I think you always responded. Thank you!
