Cut the crap, Rahul.  If you don't want to read the stuff set up a kill
file.  Creating ghettos to house those you'd rather not have to look at
is imperious and bigoted.  And since you are an experienced netnik who
knows damn well how to make and use a kill file, it's gratuitous and cruel.
If we really need a subgroup, it's for pointy-headed technotwits who make
such self-serving, "SERIOUS" proposals.
