Net.general is intended for items of general interest to the whole net.
In other words, nobody should ever be tempted to unsubscribe to it.
Unfortunately, so much junk comes over it, that many here have unsubscribed.
After previous complaints things improved, but suddenly this week they have
deteriorated again.

Just to demonstrate the workings of the European Mind, here is a list of
some of the things we don't generally find interesting:

	the price of chocolate in the US; current plays on Broadway;
	changes of address; RITCUS (? I couldn't make head nor tail of what 
	that was about); writing "Merry Christmas" 15 times.
