Bongusta update, march 2022
===========================

It is with no doubt, that the phlogosphere is shrinking. This time
the (ir)regular Bongusta maintenance was a real slaughter. 17 of the
75 aggregated phlogs didn't have any update in the 2021, were
obviously abandoned (blank gophermap or note by the author, that the 
operation has been terminated) or even the hostname didn't exist
anymore or didn't run any gopher server. This is the biggest decrease
of counter in history of Bongusta.

One of the removed phlogs, that I will miss most, is the SparcIPX[1].
Together with jstg and xmanmonk they were three of the eldest phlogs
I remember read and two of the reasons why Bongusta was created.

Then there is the Boris Schminke's phlog[2], which I always enjoyed
to read and which wasn't updated since July 2021. There I can still
hope...

To end with a more positive tone let me welcome new Bongusta
additions which helped slow down the decrease, so the counter now
displays nice round number 64:

* left_adjoint's phlog by clarissa [3]
* rfmpie's phlog [4]
* a phlog called "Screwtape proposes a toast" [5]
* moj's diary [6]
* ~cside phlog [7]
* blootr's phlog [8]

Welcome and I hope that you came here to stay!
