Re: Chuqui's services and consequent castigation
.
The warrior in plaid brings up a good point--it should, if anything, be
easier to remove newsgroups than to create them.  We might take a page
from "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress"--Heinlein proposes a legislative
structure consisting of an administration and a *defenestration*
[lit. "to throw out of a window", or "to throw oneself out a window"],
with the trigger point for admission being a 2/3 majority, and the
corresponding point for repeal being 1/3.

In any case, I would like to express my personal appreciation for Chuqui's
otherwise-thankless janitorial services.  It's an unfortunate paradox that
the task of administering of a cooperative can attract people of sensitivity
--while putting them at the mercy of the insensitive.  So it goes.
