I sent mail to Erik Fair when I sent out the rmgroup.

It has been my experience that very few people actually read the contents of
control messages so it is pointless to put any explanations there. Most news
administrators rely on the mail that is generated by the arrival of control
messages.

I have quenched Vogon News at the source, blocking its distribution out of
DEC. Therefore it no longer matters to me whether the newsgroup exists.
