And articles like this belong here in net.followup-TURKEY!!!!!

I just finished reading net.general here.
It is filled with complete randomness.
I only saw one or two articles which were of general interest to
everyone.
Perhaps it is time to rethink the usefulness of net.general. I haven't
unsubscribed yet, but I suppose I will if the randomnews (new word!)
continues.

Does anyone anywhere know of one single topic that would be of (general) interest to the ENTIRE Usenet community???? Aw, comm'on!!!! (aside from 'end of the world' announcements and troop movement6s, of course) Why are all these tears being spilt over the inevitable demise of net.general???? Newsgroups survive by being popular, interesting and/or useful. Net.general has outlived its usefulness. Go ahead, post what you like, net.general belongs to those who read it. I think I will unsubscribe, though. It seems to me that people who think they can possibly say something of interest to the whole world, and who demand a clear channel just for the occasion, are very vain.
