Traffic in net.jokes itself will slow to a pitiful trickle, and eventually it will have to be saved from the automatic-newsgroup-deletion programs by periodic rescue operations. Flames will then commence on the subject of whether there ought to be "landmark" newgroups, exempt from automatic deletion because of their historical value. --- Michael Turner (ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner)
