I second (and third) Dick's motion.

Of course, he forgot to mention 'unsubscribing' as a possibility,
which most of us do already anyway, but there is a difference between
unsubscribing a group which has a purpose I am not interested in,
and 'net.general', which has a stated purpose which can no longer be served
by this group due to it's lack of readership.  It's even unfair to the
poor neophyte, who'll only get ignored or flamed at.

I've seen statements to the effect that net.general has been replaced
by net.announce, (and flamed at for 'acting ignorant of that fact')

	SO, what gives ?

And a word of warning to you net-powers.  Not doing anything can be a
lot more irresponsible than doing something, which turns out to be less
than perfect.

	Werner	- fire-retardant, but not flame-proof

PS:  we might even get some use out of this group again, which tempts
	me to unsubscribe, lately.
