I sent a message directly to Gene to request that this group not be
terminated, and he sent back the following reply:

Thank you for your mail.
Forgive me for answering with a form letter, but I have been receiving
over 50 letters a day on the general topic of removing newsgroups, and
I do not have time to answer each letter individually.
I am keeping track of people's comments and concerns as expressed in
these letters. In a few days I will summarize the comments into
one article and post it to "net.news.group" for everyone to see.
Of the 14 groups I listed as candidates for removal, it appears that
4 or 5 still have a netwide audience, although those audiences are
not very active posters. Rest assured that I will not be deleting
any of those groups -- I simply wanted to see if anyone cared about
them. The ones that people have not commented on, however, appear
to be likely candidates for removal.
Thanks again for taking the time to express your concern,
