[news.newusers.questions] Metadiscussions

denbeste@bbn.com (Steven Den Beste) (08/04/89)

It seems like there's something wrong when two-thirds of the traffic in a group
consists of articles from people trying to convince each other that the group
itself is a good thing.

The purpose of this group is to answer questions from neophytes, not to discuss
whether a group is needed to answer such questions.

Please take the latter discussion to news.groups where it belongs.
