I hate to get involved in a pointless discussion like this, but maybe I
should voice the opinion of one of the quiet lurkers after all.

Just one comment here: I do not consider this newsgroup stagnating.
Sure, there could be hundreds of posts per day, but would that make the
newsgroup any better? At any rate I'd have to stop reading it then,
because I  simply do not have to handle such a volume of messages.

The signal to noise ratio used to be pretty good here, but (largely
thanks to this stupid discussion) is going downwards to the level of
other newsgroups now.

I'd love to use a killfile to filter out all this noise, but
unfortunately my newsreader doesn't support killfiles.
Hence I also hate repeated posts like that TribeVibes thing.
