Does anyone know anything?

I assumed all the members (except King of the Apes, etc) had given up on it
due to all the trash that's overrun the real discussion.

No, the OP is referring to this WEBSITE:
http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/. Still down.

I've actually been considering starting a new, moderated group over at
Google to keep it going without spam and political BS.

What spam - I see less than 5 spam messages a day?

What makes you think the site is "down?"

This is not a website, but a USENET group.

Neil said it would be down due to an upgrade to the OS and a re-layout
of the data. He's running a bit late, but I expect it will be up for
the weekend.

(I sure hope so anyway - I need my CrazyGuyOnABike fix!)

It's not up yet.
Neil does a great job with this site.

If you need a touring fix, try to Trento bike pages
http://www.trentobike.org/

It's also hot. Very hot. The kind of hot where reading about a bike
tour of Greenland in February might sound good.

I'm using the newsreader within Outlook Express and most of the messages
that come up on this USENET GROUP are from KingOfTheApes and other screen
names traceable back to the same guy. I also keep getting ads for cheap
sneakers. I've done all the usual filter tricks in an effort to block these
messages, but they still seem to outnumber legitimate posts by a large
margin. Any ideas?

Well, KingOfTheApes aka ComendanteBanana aka donquixote1954 is annoying,
but not a commercial spammer.

Certain newsfeeds block out most of the Asian "I sells shoe" spam,
including the one I am using.

CrazyGuyOnABike.com is back up now. There are still a few issues
relating to the Perl upgrade, I understand, but the content is all
there and is readable.
