Kennedy Jr. and Associates Lines: 15 I don't want to add to the inevitable din, but Chuq advocates a number of group cuts. My personal taste agrees with him but let's leave the moderated groups that have bona-fide moderation, rec.guns, rec.humor.funny. The traffic volume is relatively low and the content very desirable. By "bona- fide" I mean moderation whereby someone actually looks at it before it is approved and sent on. I do not know if it is so, but it appears to me that rec.music-gaffa is just rubber stamped and forwarded. Emphasis *I do not know*, Emphasis *it appears to me*, so I could be very mistaken. If indeed we must dissolve entire categories, I suggest that the moderated groups go last. -- Bill Kennedy Internet: bill@ssbn.WLK.COM Usenet: { killer | att-cb | ihnp4!tness7 }!ssbn!bill
