Summary:  NUKE `EM!!

Net.general was an unfortunate name; it can  be  interpreted as
either net.everyone or as net.anything.  New users always seem
to assume the latter ($#%$#%).  One decision that should  be
made is "How do we define USENET?".  It used to be "Everyone who
gets net.general"; is "Everyone who gets net.announce" a good
substitute?
