zinfadel!steve suggests that most of net.jokes (bumper stickers,
road signs, oxymorons, etc.) be placed in net.humor leaving
net.jokes only for "REAL" jokes.  Zinfadel!steve further states that
the distinction between where a submission should go is obvious.
I see two possible results in the implementation of his
suggestion:

1)  Everyone will continue to submit to net.jokes thinking that
their submission is a real joke.  All the good jokes will of course
end up in net.humor.

2) Everyone will not have a such a definite sense of distinction as
steve, so everybody will post all submissions to both net.jokes and
net.humor.  Eventually mod.jokes will be created moderated by
zinfadel!steve.

end -)

Actually net.humor in principle is a good idea, but I don't think it
will be possible to move the majority of submissions to net.jokes
into another group.  There would be too much inertia to resist the
change. (create net.jokes.jokes & net.jokes.humor ( -) ?)).
