Some people just miss the point entirely. If we do away with "soapbox"
groups, whatever they are, all (most of?)  the traffic currently channeled 
into these "useless" groups will end up in other ("usefull") groups.

So instead of being able to unsubscribe to what I consider garbage, I will
get to do even more manual "n" key filtering. Did the abolition of net.flame
reduce aggregate network traffic?
