Well I agree that there is an awful lot of votings for creating
new newsgroups, and that it is boring to read all kind of stuff
you don't have the slightest interrest in. However I strongly
disagree with the idea of making some kind of committee that
should decide what groups are to be created and what groups
have to be closed due to some arbitrary decission from some
elected (?) net-administrators. What comes next the
administrators should emit articles that they considered "not
interesting"! This shouldn't be 1984 (Hrmm...at least not the
year of Orwell) where some administrators decide what's proper
and what's not.

I think that it would be a better idea to make an appeal to
people that they should limit the material they are posting,
and not posting the same thing more than once. And at the same
time posting the stuff to the right group. The main problem as
I see it is that the size of information to recieve from the
net is so overwhelming that no one cares to read it all, then
don't! If you can agree at you site what groups you want to
receive material from, the cut off the others...

Well, I don't think that I have anything more to add so have a
good time... But remember BIG BROTHER is not a reality yet,
but....
