My .newsrc lists 195 news groups, not all of which are actually available
on my machine. However, I am surprised that net.pers (net.personal) is not
one of them.  Perhaps we could remove a lot of broadcast garbage from the
other groups by creating this one.  It would be an international "personals"
column. The "Joe Smith from Indiana '78 where are you?" articles could
go there. It would probably be read widely for the same reasons that
personals columns are. One rule would be - no business allowed in this
newsgroup.  We might find that the other groups cleared up if there was
someplace to go.
I really think this suggestion is even better than my recent proposal
of net.abolish.
