I'm a leaf site too, and I like the scheme.  I'm forever grateful to the
folks upstream from me.  I gladly defer to the judgement of those paying
the bills.

But the issues raised about newsgroups being decided now solely by usenet
administrators is a valid one.  I could vote against net.vms just to be mean.
Still I think there just might be a higher reasonability percentage among
the site administrators.

As Lazarus Long says (paraphrase) , "Democracy is based on the premise that a 
million men are wiser than one man.  How's that again?  I missed something."
(Then he of course points out the equivalent ludicrousness of the opposite 
viewpoint.)
