- It is futile to keep this newsgroup alive when most foreigners have
- become taciturn in the company of Finns. Foreigners have nothing much
- to say about anything. Perhaps foreigners are not interested in other
- foreigners and neither are Finns interested in foreigners very much.
- I guess most foreigners must be reading their respective soc.culture.*
-
- That's certainly true, I enjoy reading the soc.culture.netherlands
- group, especially since there appeared some internet_journal, giving
- the latest news from Holland (in Dutch only).
-
- Time after time, the local international association in Turku has
- materialised like a phoenix and disappeared. It changes names and
- colours, but has limited vitality. The local newsgroup for ]bo
- Akademi, abo.utlanningar had also to be removed because nobody wrote
- to it.
-
- I still have to understand this : WHY WILL FOREIGNERS WRITE SOMETHING ?
-
- I don't know, but there should be something which foreigners have in
- common. The bad things about Finland, the good things about Finland...
- Or do foreigners get tired discussing those subjects, since the Finns
- themselves ask those questions so often? Or does the darkness silence
- foreigners as it does Finns?
-
- With regards,
