I do not feel that a rmgroup on net.jokes is warranted.  Net.jokes is
not taking up significant bandwidth, nor are there a significant number
of offensive postings.  Those that are are handled well by net.jokes.d.
So, net.jokes in itself is a self-policing group -- things don't get out
of hand.

Mod.jokes is a good idea to keep out the cruft, repeated jokes and jokes
in poor taste.  It should exist only as a parallel to the regular group
and not as a replacement for it.  Like the saying goes, if it ain't
broke, don't fix it.
