[net.news] Newsgroup Wars?

swatt (11/23/82)

How 'cum every day I see what appears to be a newsgroup war between various
people (pwa-b!root, for example), and alice!news as to whether new newsgroups
can be created faster than they can be removed?

Who's winning?

The cause for this war is that people keep creating things like
net.joke, etc.  Also, we got the nice string of net.bugs.cse,
net.bugs.columbia, net.bugs.chess, etc. the other day.  I have
been removing them.

Curiously enough I just got a note that someone (news at alice) has removed
net.bugs.u3 which appears to have been the Unix System III bug report newsgroup.
Anyone care to let me know why?
