I don't think we have anything to worry about. CB is definetly not
dead. Of course, it's become specialized in most of the country, but
it's alive and well in pure democratic form in the New York Metro
area.
In many ways you can compare it to the Internet/Web. It takes a
certain amount of equipment to get connected. Anyone can "post" and
the quality of many messages leaves alot to be desired. <grin>
