Too much amber nectar Eddie. This group stopped 5 years ago when John moved
everyone to his new group burnleyfc. And the Burnleyfc group stopped 2 years
ago when John moved everyone to his new group Claretnblue.

But as several(hundred)people have pointed out the real action is on the
claretsmad message board where there are several thousand members and approx
several thousand messages per minute. All things must pass of course. My
(new)theory on the fall of all web social things is that as soon as people
get to know each other then such divisive things as social class/status,
education, age etc kick in. In fact even recently status was discussed in
depth and everyone started revealing their age (as well). All the nutters
are strictly controlled by the Tony the Grouch who recently suspended the
registration of new members and will probably suspend me after reading this.
Although perhaps to avert this I should say that I think his contribution to
all things Burnley, his articles, match reports etc are second to none.

Statistically all egroups (like all social groups) can be shown to be in
permanent decline. A 12 month moving average on Claretnblue shows an annual
decline from 160 in Sep04 to 125 in Sep04 so unless John starts another
group Claretnblue will last exactly 3 more years (see attached graph)
