Summary: don't remove net.info-terms

It is precisely BECAUSE net.info-terms is a separate newsgroup from net.unix
that requests in there get noticed and responded to. If requests in there
were posted to net.unix, they would never be seen due to the swamped
situation in that other newsgroup. I've responded to many requests for
termcap or terminfo entries that I may have never seen if they had been
posted to net.unix.
