In net.news.groups was recently posted an article which I show
partially below:

To which I mailed back:

  Hi Chuq,
  
    Please realize that net.wobegon is read faithfully by us shy
  persons who are well aware that we rarely have anything worthwhile to
  say, but take the next step and don't say anything!
  
    I must reluctantly agree with the non-need for net.wobegon, and
  its removal will sadden me, but won't move me to wrath.  However,
  if you can see your way clear to let us quiet, retiring folks have
  our little corner of the world, we will all be appreciative.
  
  Shyly,
    Lindsay
