While a proliferation of newsgroups is not good, since when does one need to "ask permssion" for a news group, and of whom? I see more discussion of groups than information at times. A better strategy is to have perodic cleanup of any directory (group) that is not active for more than n (say 4) weeks. A once a month housecleaning is reasonable. Please, lets not rant and rave over this. It's just an opinion. Greg Guthrie Bell Labs Naperville, Ill (312)979-7303
