I was a heavy user of CS for many years, and still maintain a subscription,
but have barely logged on over there for the last year and a half or so. I would
expect that their OS/2 message traffic is rather low by now, and the File
Libraries none too current or well-maintained. They had a lot of major
Forum consolidations about a year before my active participation there
slacked off. This was rather detrimental, in my view. I think something
like 4 or 5 OS/2 fora went down to one or two, although there were still sub-
sections. I do regret not having the time to keep up with whatever might
still have been going on there, as the signal-to-noise ratio was always vastly
higher than on the newsgroups. (Which I haven't visited in a long time,
either.) They used to have some very good people there, and good info.

Doug was one of the last Go To guys there for OS/2, among the Sysops,
particularly after Ron Higgin disappeared and Trevor resigned. I don't
know if Doug is still there, but he's been drifting more and more into
the Linux camp these last few years. He also does a lot of Win-32
troubleshooting, in his day job.
