	Perhaps as an interim solution, we could take the
following approach:

        Have someone volunteer (I will if no one else wants the
job [how about you, Mark?]) to sift through articles in
net.general, and re-post the ones of general interest to
net.announce.  In other words, net.announce would be a moderated
version of net.general.  People posting to net.general would be
told to send mail to the moderator instead, or that their
article should instead have gone to net.misc.

	net.followup could be left around for a while, eventually
to be nuked and replaced by net.misc - after the conversation
level dies down.

	I know this isn't a cure-all.  But at least it would
relieve most of us from having to wade through the junk in
net.general for the occasional interesting article.
