I think this makes my point about net traffic speed.  I didn't even see this
message until May 9.

On the other hand, net.politics.terror is a fine idea.  The only question I
have is whether net.politics.mideast might not be an even better one.  (I
don't think we need both.)  There has been an awfully lot of Mideast
discussion in net.politics, and I would love to have an easy way to avoid
all of it.

Any seconds?
