I vote FOR the creation of net.lost+found, provided that it is aliased to
junk.  This way, whenever an AT&T employee loses something, an announcement
will not be transmitted to the world.  Moreover, this will prevent the
endless flaming that always follows a stupid post.  And if you look at this
newsgroup, the volume of flaming is much greater than the volume of
stupidity.  (Well, maybe not! :-) )
