Default Is this list always quiet?

I just joined a day or two ago, and have only received two messages, one to
a post I made, and one spam. Is this list always this quiet, or am I having
trouble with my newsgroup reader? I'm new to newsgroups, and am used to
email groups, so any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Diana

Diana,

It's generally pretty quiet. I think the highest volume I've ever seen is
30 posts in 24 hours, and more typically it's 2 - 8 per 24 hours.

The best way to pick things up is to come up with a provocative stamping
discussion topic and post it! However, google-search past messages and see
what sorts of things have been done tons (especially "your top 10 supplies"
once a year or so on that one is enough in my book)

So... ask a question or post a discussion topic, and things'll perk up a
bit. But, generally, it's pretty quiet. Especially with the weather
warming a bit in many areas, lots of minds here turn to gardening (ick!) :-)

Kind regards,
Alison

Thanks Alison,
Are you allowed to post swap proposals here, or Comms or Ads?
I'm not into gardening either lol....when they come up with plants that
don't attract bees, and don't require tons of extra housework for myself,
then I might consider it LOL. I don't even do the silk flowers in the
house....just more to dust haha!

That's true, Artemis, I missed that she said she'd only received on response
to her original post!

Sorry, Diana, in addition to the fact that the group is generally quiet, you
have missed some posts. I don't know why that might be.

Oh no! Don't know how to fix that. Maybe I'll unsub, and then resub and
see if I get back the lost messages or something. Thanks!

Yes, all of those are acceptable as long as they're directly stamping
related; advertisements should have "AD" or "COMM" in the subject line
so that those who wish may skip over them.

About the only thing that's outright verboten here (well, other than
random spam) is posting images. You may, however, post links to pictures
of your work if you put them in Webspace somewhere.

Welcome. As Alison notes, this is a pretty quiet newsgroup, and some
weeks it looks like nothing but a bunch of eBay ads, but we do have
interesting conversations when somebody gives us a poke with an
interesting question.

I see you're using Outlook Express to read and post. Check your settings
(perhaps someone else who uses that program can tell you precisely
where); it may be that you haven't got it configured to show all current
messages.
