With all the groups getting created left and right, how about if
we get rid of some of the groups no longer needed? rec.mag.fsfnet
for instance, has little readership, effectively no traffic, and
is taking a few bytes up of storage at thousands of sites. Let's
rmgroup it! Let's do the same with a few more! (like comp.sys.ridge).

I don't think a procedure was ever established for removing a group,
so how about this: we'll talk about it for a few weeks, and if no
one strenuously objects, and no traffic starts up in rec.mag.fsfnet,
a rmgroup will be issued?
