Re: P.A. Dunkin's letter and imminent demise of net.wobegon

I second this letter's statements, and have but one thing to add:
I for one have sat back and just READ the news from net.wobegon for weeks at
a time before actually contributing anything, and I suspect this pattern may
not be unusual; the type of people who would elect to read such a newsgroup in
the first place are probably not going to be voluminous posters.

And as Mr. Dunkin pointed out, we certainly have one of the most well-mannered
groups on the net.

I suspect just knowing that net.wobegon exists brings a smile and a ray of
sunshine into the lives of many a not-necessarily-Norwegian bachelor hacker.
Please reconsider your decision.
