It's a shame as the newsgroup was always good value, but I think a lot of
discussions were started by non-regulars asking stuff about different
resorts and conversations would follow. I guess newsgroups aren't the first
(or even last) port of call any more.

I expect in the old day, most people knew about news even if they didn't
use it. Now, I expect noone knows about it except the ones who are already
using it.

Heh! It was fun while it lasted

and Odd - You're all *******s as I've already been to Tignes for my
solitary week this year - boo-hoo.

I feel your pain. I'm off there for my one week skiing this year in a few
weeks.

I did get a few runs down a hill in High Wycombe on Christmas day which
confirmed I don't really like walking up hills with skis.
