`I've got one: why don't we start a discussion about rmgrouping news.groups.
`Seems to me 95% of the postings in news.groups are worthless. We could
`likely do without it completely and do just as well as far as creating
`groups are concerned. There's very little discussion and a lot of noise.
I have a better idea: Let us create news.groups.wizards. This will probably
absorb all the nonsense, flames, wars and other garbage postings, keeping
news.groups relatively clean. At least I suppose the people that are now
polluting news.goups wouldn't like to admit that they are not wizards. Each
site could then have the option of redirecting it to /dev/null.
