Connoisseurs of netnews at Toronto-area sites, and sites fed from Toronto-
area sites, should be aware that some of the system administrators near
the root of the local tree -- notably utzoo and utcs -- are getting less
and less happy with the ever-rising tide of gossip.  It is particularly
troubling that, of the 25 newsgroups accounting for 70% of the traffic,
only 4 are indisputably technical (9 if you give the benefit of the doubt
to various borderline cases), and none of these is in the top 10.

This is not an announcement of cutbacks.  Yet.  Consider it, as the title
suggests, a storm warning.  Constructive suggestions are welcome.  Flames
will be ignored.
