[net.books] Science fiction in net.books

I hate to be a party pooper, but am I the only reader of net.books who has
noticed that sf seems to have overrun this newsgroup of late?  I have nothing
in particular against science fiction (I spent some of the best years of my
life trying to be a trufan), but I don't read it any more and get rather
bored reading about it.  Since you guys have a perfectly good newsgroup all
your own, would you be annoyed by a polite request to return to it?

By the way, lest you find me a total stick-in-the-mud, let me say that I
enjoyed the discussion of crossover authors from which the current flood of
sf-oriented postings seems to have sprung.  Any time you want to discuss the
borderline cases in net.books, it's fine with me.  But John Norman's Gor
novels?  Spare us!

Thanks for your cooperation --
