It is used mainly by allegra!vortex!lauren (Lauren Weinstein) -- talk to him if you don't know what's going on. Second thing: This was tried once in the past, a couple years ago I proposed a list of groups to go and deleted them. The result was widespread chaos, confusion, and anger. It was worht it then, because the groups that went were illegit groups or those that hadn't been used in periods of 6 months and up. It is not so worth it now, as I have seen action recently on most all of the groups mentioned.
