(NY, NY) Lines: 23 Summary: Don't kill net.general, kill net.followup instead [Reminder: votes on this issue should be sent to gen-vote@phri and should strictly follow the format laid out in <2216@phri.UUCP>. Do *not* send your vote directly to me. -- RHS] From: John P. Nelson Subject: keep net.general (discussion) Organization: GenRad, Inc., Concord, Mass. The amount of volume generated in net.general and net.followup are small compared to most of the "noisy" groups. I argue that net.general does indeed serve a useful purpose - and with the monthly postings of "introduction to posting to net.general", the junk level is pretty low. I suspect that the REAL solution is to delete net.followup, and have replies to net.general shunted to /dev/null. John P.
