While there are easily 7000 netnews readers, I don't think a large percentage of them read net.general. There has been so much crap on that group that just about everybody unsubscribes. There are 236 people in our "users" file at watmath, but only a few of those are net.general readers. Most people want to see a group read by all net people, but you'll only get that if it is a low volume group. Old net documentation gave the idea that net.general really meant "general", ie. if you can't think of anywhere else to put it, put it here. It really means net.everybody now and I think we'll have to change the name before we create a quite group for all uers s/uers/users/ to read.
