It won't happen.  It can't happen.  Too many people want the groups to
continue.  For those groups where "usenet" doesn't want to carry it,
new ones are started up (alt, bionet, gnu, biz, there's more).

How about if Gene took everything but comp.* off the 'official' list?
Would that be enough?

I'm not trying to be flippant, but why can't you just ask your
upstream sites not to send those articles?
