Uh.  you have a short memory there.  Don't you remember talk about
this a month or two ago?  Didn't we poll the net on the subject?
(I know, because I was one of the original suggestors to kill the group).

At the time opinion seemed to run about 50-50.  Plus the quality
seemed to improve a little.

But really, when you look at it, its really drivel, its really HUGE, and
it was never properly created.  I support killing the group.  However,
like spaf said ... if y'all want to keep it around, keep it amongst
yourselves.  Don't spread it around.

I don't understand where you get off expecting the backbone to carry
absolutely EVERY single piece that is posted.  EVERYTHING has its
limits ya know.
