I list here arguments opposing Adam's list. net.lang.apl keep it. the discussion isn't as bulky as net.singles but it is a useful way of contacting apl users. net.wines how about submitting these articles to net.cooks? fa.ALL these groups are inportant!!!!! since there is so much one way gating, and so infrequent (like net.sf-lovers sometimes gets gated to fa), I think these are necessary to prevent news loops.

You have some good points. I always wondered why net.wines was ever created, since it should be in net.cooks (or a subgroup of net.cooks at the most) As for fa.all groups, I think you missed my intentions. I did not mean to do away with them. I purposely did NOT list fa.all groups on the basis of not being used for a while, because of things like SF-Lovers which don't get through all that frequently. The only fa.all groups I listed were those that were definitely gatewayed (two ways) into USENET and haven't been used since the gateway went into effect. Witness fa.space. We haven't gotten a digest from it in over 7 months, not since the gateway to net.space went into effect. Why keep fa.space around when it will never be used?
