Actually, not so new a thing. Its time for my every so often question of
'Why do these topics exist?' and this month I have chosen the following
topics:

    net.applic - applicative language and related architecture. 
    net.college- college, college activities, campus life, etc.
    net.games.pacman- guess what?
    net.movies.sw- For the now complete (for now) SW sagas
    net.rec.birds- this topic is for the birds
    net.rec.skydive- for plummeting from planes
    net.usoft.s- S stat pack
    net.vvs- vortex video system

These are our candidates. With the exception on net.movies.sw, I don't have
any record of activities on these topics since my site has been up (about
two months now). In almost all cases, there are alternate places for people
to not talk about these subjects (applic to net.arch and net.lang, rec.* to
net.rec, usoft.s to usoft, vvs to graphics, etc)... I hereby let it be
known that the supporters of these things should sit up and be heard, or I
am going to start zapping them one of these days... Its obvious that these
topics have outlived their usefulness so we might as well start cleaning up
the net by disappearing them.

I am open to the floor for nominations for additional candidates,
discussions at to why I am {insane,idiotic,megalomaniac,<your_word>} and
general flaming...
