    So it was asked and so it was answered.

    } Have you ever asked a question, but gotten the answer to a different one?
    } Today's answer is 37.

    It least it didn't claim to be random.

    http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/R/random-numbers.html
    The most random two-digit number is 37, When groups of people are
    polled to pick a "random number between 1 and 100", the most
    commonly chosen number is 37.

    That page also links here, for background on 17:

    Which I find amusing since I've met the Prof David Kelly mentioned.

    If you checked the group name, you'd see the word "humor" is part of it.
    But I was serious in that everyone who once was a regular in this group
    has gone away.

    That I did; hence the question.

    I'm afraid that I've started following this group much after it
    could've claimed to have many "regulars"; 2012, perhaps? (I can't
    find my archives for the year, but the group, along with its
    non-.d counterpart, was already in my .newsrc in January 2013.)

    I think I ever posted once. Somehow, it seems that E-S does not
    have that article. (Expired earlier due to cross-posting perhaps?)
    I guess it was #126 there.

    Don't flatter yourself.

    Yeah, that's late. The last post I saved in my personal archives was
    in 2005:

    ... What I can't recall is when I've first learned of the Oracle.
    It most certainly couldn't have happened before 1999, and I have
    a feeling that it wasn't after 2003, either.

    Would you have replied to me if you hadn't been interacting with me
    in another group recently?

    I probably wouldn't have replied to that specific post were the
    topic of Usenet demise not brought up recently a few times too
    often. For instance, news:[email protected].
    (A minor correction: contrary to what I've stated in that
    article, I've had a very short-lived Usenet access c. 1996.)

    the panix spool only keeps articles a few months

    E-S spool goes back to 2010-12-19 at #15. It's possible that
    on the account of this being a low-traffic group the articles
    are retained indefinitely there.
