Please, do not split your messages into subject and body.
The subject is not part of the message, but rather a summary
thereof. The article body alone should be self-sufficient.

alt.usage.english is the more populated group.

It's more like a general chit-chat. Well, at least it's alive.

Many AUE threads start on topic, but after a few responses the
discussion will often (or even usually) go off in another direction.
It'a often prompted by a comment about food; sometimes about sheep;
and all too frequently morphs into decades-long pissing contests
between certain regular posters.

It gives them something to do and keeps them off the streets, I
suppose...

This is what it looks like, yes. But how come there are two "the
same but different" groups? And which one came first?

This might be a good idea, really. :-)

AIUI, the AUE/AEU thing dated back to the early days of Usenet, when
posting to a non-existent group could in some instances automatically
cause that group to be created.

Thus someone who wanted to post to alt.usage.english posted instead
to alt.english.usage, and inadvertently created the second group.
I'm not sure that it was ever established which group came first -- I
always assumed it was AUE -- but it was in the early days.

AEU was relatively active in the Usenet's heyday, but was always the
less-visited of the two groups. The discussions in AEU were also
notably more civilised/less confrontational than some of those in
AUE, which all too often descended into nasty exchanges (which some
boringly childish posters revelled in). I had a large kill-file for
AUE....

It's a pity AEU disappeared, but given that it had a less-active
readership to start with, it was more vulnerable to being abandoned.
