That way, you could also pick up Arpa contributors and get a The ARPA question is a null point. It's just as easy these days to bounce net groups off ARPA sites as anything else. We have a lot of closet net.audio and net.sources readers around here who don't go near a machine with news on it. It seems to me that creation of a group requires some discussion and so does deletion, regardless of the nature of the group. You are just inviting shit, and are doing the net no good by arbitrarily making your- self into net god, regardless of your intentions or the amount of time you spend helping the net. -Ron
