I completely disagree. The list of newsgroups says net.taxes is for "Tax laws
and advice", not specifying whether the laws are to be discussed or just
stated. Net.politics is grossly swollen because it already has too many 
sub-areas--it's been suggested that it ought to be broken up into more 
manageable pieces, but surely it makes sense to have discussions elsewhere
any time we get a reasonable excuse, like the presence of a specialized 
newsgroup like net.taxes. Anyway, what would be in this group at times other
than near to April 15?
