  This is a personal judgment with which not everyone agrees. I could make
the same argument about comp.sources.amiga. I don't own an Amiga. No
one here does. Therefore all the bytes we pass around are garbage and should
be eliminated. Clearly a bogus argument. It also ignores the fact that the
"drivel" in soc.singles would probably get posted somewhere else if there
were no such group. Just consider it lucky it's in a group by itself so you can
unsubscribe to it if you don't want to read it.
