Not all of them, but a good number. I was reading news for about 3 years before I even subscribed to news.groups Surely USENET contents are more important to the average "user" than the discussions of what newsgroup names the content should live under? I would hazard a guess that the "news" hierarchy has a higher proportion of news-admins than non-admins. Of course, I could be wrong. Anyone interested in participating in YAS (Yet Another Survey) is welcome to email me at the address below (use your 'r' key at your own peril), and I will post the results as a Christmas present. Comments will actually be read and summarized (without attribution). The real reason for this question is to determine who is _really_ interested in how our hierarchy evolves. The question: "Do you (the reader of news.groups) administer or contribute to the administration of USENET news at your site?" While I'll probably process this manually, you could be kind and use the following format in your Subject line: newsadmin YES/NO Ed. A.
